[Bug 18483] Image cascading protection issues
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18483 Dan Collins changed: What|Removed |Added Status|NEW |RESOLVED CC||en.wp.s...@gmail.com Resolution||WONTFIX --- Comment #26 from Dan Collins 2011-07-16 02:25:05 UTC --- Cascading protection takes time to take effect. Updating the bug summary to that effect, and since we know that, and per Andrew, a very simple workaround exists, this is going to be WONTFIX. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email --- You are receiving this mail because: --- You are the assignee for the bug.

Requires serious rearchitecture, which is not justified by a minor problem for which a basic workaround exists. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email --- You are receiving this mail because: --- You are the assignee for the bug.

[Bug 18483] Image cascading protection issues
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18483 --- Comment #24 from shubinat...@gmail.com 2009-07-04 15:02:23 UTC --- Is there any progress on the bug? Happymelon's suggestion seems perfect. As I understand it, saving the page updates the link tables for only that page. For cascading protection, this means admins have to null edit (purge doesn't work) the Main Page. We could extend this so if (cascade protected) -> update link tables of that page -> propagate link table updates upwards in the chain of cascading protection. So in our example, updating Template:Did you know would update the link tables of the Main Page, which would trigger cascading protection instantaneously. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email --- You are receiving this mail because: --- You are the assignee for the bug.

The solution, therefore, is to ensure that the templatelinks and imagelinks tables are updated quickly after a cascade-protected page is updated. IIRC someone (Tim?) is working on an improved job queue construction; as suggested in comment#12, a 'priority stream' should be considered in that system. In the meantime (and perhaps even regardless), it would seem to be sensible to update these tables *immediately* as part of the page save, if the page is cascade-protected. Since only admins can save cascade-protected pages, this whould not be a DoS vector. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email --- You are receiving this mail because: --- You are the assignee for the bug.
