[Wikitech-l] Special:ListFiles

I found that [[Special:ListFiles]] is enabled on Commons. Very nice, especially the separation of author (though titled User) and description. Too lazy to look it up - is this grabbed from the rendered HTML, or stored in the database? If it's the latter, is there a special page to list the files

[Wikitech-l] FYI : Commons thumbnails slow

I get long wait times for images from Commons (10sec even for small thumbnails). The browsers (Commons, Firefox) also seem to load the same image repeatedly, even though it should be in cache. I'm in the UK. Everything else seems normal (well, I'm in the UK, but otherwise... ;-).

[Wikitech-l] WYSIFTW status

A quick update on WYSIFTW, my augmented wikitext editor. (Please see http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WYSIFTW for details.) Wikitext support is nearing completion. I added bold/italics a few days ago, and yesterday it got some buttons to apply/remove such markup from a selection. Just a few minutes
