--- Comment #3 from Bawolff (Brian Wolff) <[email protected]> --- I suppose some of this is just because its the way things have always been done. Im not 100% sure of the exact reasoning for this. Part of it is probably that pages get rerendered quite frequently and in an unpredictable manner. If categorylinks were updated on every page parse it would be possible to construct a page that changed its category membership on every (logged in) page view which would probably be bad. Additionally the vast majority of pages do not have their categories change unless their page text has changed. Terminology note: having categories update from purge requests (and not general page render as suggesyed in comment 0) is a bit more likely to happen (although still not something I would probably commit) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
