Yep. That's pretty much a show-stopper, too. At best we'd be able to "fool" the squid cache into treating the MDY and DMY versions of a page as two different pages (with which to display determined by the HTTP headers sent by the browser) but that would still cut the cache efficiency in half, which is too much of a performance hit for too little gain. I'm giving up on this bug and recommending that it be closed. A javascript-based approach would still work, but that's well beyond the scope of this request and a new one should be opened if people want to pursue that route. This also means that anyone who wants to keep Date Autoformatting should start reverting the work of Tony, et. al. with their date unlinking, since it doesn't look like a technical fix is in the works after all, and the only reason some of us have been holding off on the reverts is because we'd been hoping for a better (technical) solution. -Bill -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
