Summary: Caching issues with images and action=purge
Product: MediaWiki
Version: 1.16-svn
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Normal
Component: Database
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
When changing (for example prespective correction) an image on commons
http://commons.wikipedia.org/wiki/Datei:example.jpg which is included in
de-wiki, I found that I need to issue action=purge for the page
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Datei:example.jpg . A purge action on the
including page or on the original file page did not help.
Summary:
In my view, action=purge for a page or an image should automatically refresh -
observing server load issues - _all_ other occurences and inclusions of that
image in others wikis, so that changed images are updated after a while without
user intervention. I do not know the exact part of the software and the
mechanism, how files from commons are included in local wikis like de-wiki. Can
a developer please add such information to this bugzilla?
In de-wiki, this manual section
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hilfe:Bilder#Nach_dem_Hochladen_einer_neuen_Bildversion
should be reviewed/revised.
