If it's true, and it may well be, is it conceivable that this will be some

Pretty sure the answer is no (Although i don't know for a fact).

However, parser cache only lasts for 30 days. So pages will get parsed at
least once every 30 days (if viewed). However that's separate from links
update (aka categories, linter, etc).

I suspect that doing a linksupdate of every article once a month would take
more than a month.

[Wikitech-l] Commons app Android... and iOS!

[Josephine Lim]

Hi all,

We (the Commons app team) are hoping to release a Commons iOS app this
year! :) We have received quite a few requests for it, so we have included
it in our Project Grant proposal:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Project/Commons_app/Commons_app_Android_and_iOS
.
Additionally, we are proposing a few new features for the Android app, and
stability/code quality improvements.

If this sounds useful or interesting to you, please do take a look at our
proposal, and endorse it if you see fit. Or if you have any questions or
concerns, please feel free to email me or post in the discussion page.

Thank you so much for all of your encouragement and support. We really
appreciate it!


Best regards,
Josephine / @misaochan (Commons app project lead)
