--- Comment #19 from aka Royalbroil <[email protected]> 2009-04-18 13:52:17 UTC --- The Tomorrow template includes only the current version of Did You Know, it gets manually updated every 6 hours or so. The tomorrow solution sounds like it works for Picture of the Day and Today's Featured Article. Tomorrow explains why only Did You Know and In the News images have been vandalized. I don't have any suggestions for In the News, but I do have one for Did You Know. There are 6 staging queues where hooks and images get placed by administrators before they appear on the main page. They could be placed under a template with cascading protection, similar to Tommorrow. There's still the problem of In the News. What fixed the problem? The image hadn't been protected at 2 hours, I cleared my browser cache and the page's cache before clicking edit on the image and it wasn't protected - the error message that p858snake mentioned wasn't there until after your posts. I didn't trust the "view source" tab. Did you clear the main page cache, Andrew? If so, I wonder, could a task be set up on a server to clear the main page cache every minute? Would that result in a performance hit, or would a single minor task like that result in a negligible performance degradation? Even a documented 40 minutes of having an unprotected image on the main page of the English Wikipedia is too scary for me. Sorry to be a pain. I was hoping that this unannounced and unadvertised test would help solve the bug. This can wait until after the weekend. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
