Summary: CSS and JavaScript changes should take effect
immediately
Product: MediaWiki
Version: 1.13.4
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: minor
Priority: Normal
Component: General/Unknown
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
Changes to system message articles MediaWiki:common.css and MediaWiki:common.js
(and all similar articles) should go "live" immediately for all users when the
article is saved. Right now, due to browser caching, changes aren't seen by
users potentially for hours or days. Asking thousands of people to
hard-refresh their browsers isn't a good solution.
Could this be solved easily by appending the article revision ID to the style
tag, e.g., changing this:
@import
"/w/index.php?title=MediaWiki:Common.css&usemsgcache=yes&action=raw&ctype=text/css&smaxage=18000"
to:
@import
"/w/index.php?title=MediaWiki:Common.css&usemsgcache=yes&action=raw&ctype=text/css&smaxage=18000&revision=123456"
or some such trick, to tell the browser to reload the CSS or JS?
