** GMAIL PAGE CRASHED IN THE MOMENT OF SENDING THE MAIL, SO IT'S POSSIBLE IT APPEARS FRAGMENTED. I'M SENDING IT AGAIN TO AVOID THAT HAPPENING. IF THE PREVIOUS MAIL ENDED WITH "Sincerely, Nethac DIU" THEN YOU HAVE RECEIVED IT CORRECTLY, BUT PLEASE, SCROLL DOWN TO THE END TO SEE AN UPDATE **
Hello, I wanted to write here a pair of ideas I published time ago about traffic, and also a comment about the new skin. Opinnions will be apreciated, thanks! About traffic: do you think it's a good idea to add a JavaScript mode that only downloads the content of the page? Something like, instead of downloading all the menu again (links to new article, recent changes and such) download only the code of the article (using the already installed trick action=raw) and after this would be interpeted in the personal computer, so it would save work to the servers, specially time, but also a bit in data sent. About that idea people commented that probably it would be slower due to some problem with cachés (honestly I didn't understand that comment, I know what are cachés, but don't know where is the problem) and with nested templates, but one of them said I could comment it at wikitech anyways. As I didn't know about that list and hadn't this e-mail account, I didn't comment, but now I remembered it and I am posting it here. Hope it is a correct place too. The new idea is that action=raw can be applied to special pages too. It can be useful for monitoring bots (or there is already a system for that?) And concerning to the skin, if I'm not wrong someone posted that it would look better if it was more compact and left more space to the actual page, like grouping all the links to the right in only one column. If there is a votation about that, I will vote yes. But that wasn't the important thing... today I noticed that if the text is very long and cannot be wrapped by lack of spaces, it will overflow the page and go onto the links. That problem already happened with pre tags, but it wasn't so problematic since the skin was Monobook and the links were at the left, it only made the page wider. An example can be seen at http://factualnonsense.wikia.com/index.php?title=Rolling_your_head_on_the_keyboard_page.&oldid=2678 I know that case is excepcional, but anyways something should be done about that. There may be problems with serious content. And that's all. Maybe I'm just oversizing it all and posting ideas that will be impractical, but I wanted to know opinnions and if it would truly be impractical. Sincerely, Nethac DIU. UPDATE: I forgot... they also said me that there was already a project for that, but only working for Firefox and requiring it to upload with the rest of the PHP files... it was at http://wikiwyg.org/wysi but apparently it got deleted, now it looks like a server for sell...
