http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Mirrors_and_forks#Remote_loading Or you know, you could dig through the mailing lists and IRC logs and see all the times it's happened. Not saying it's guaranteed to happen, but it is a likely outcome if the requests are considered abusive. As Chad mentioned, caching it for reasonable period such as a day or so would generally be considered nice enough to not warrant actions. _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l
