            Bug ID: 66702
           Summary: Split the running time limit into a soft limit and a
                    hard limit
           Product: MediaWiki extensions
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Unprioritized
         Component: Scribunto

Possibly due to some difference in system load at different time, script
execution time of the same page may differ. If the running time is close to the
limit, it still works fine most of the time, but fails with a "Script error"
randomly.

When users report such a "Script error" or any consequence (eg. unexpanded
template, missing *links etc.), it's difficult for us to diagnose until we get
that "Script error" ourselves or have a look at the page source to find out
that 9.x seconds execution time.

It would be great to give a warning (or put pages in a category) if the running
time exceeds a soft limit, and kill execution only when it exceeds the hard
limit.
