If the file is used by more than 200,000 pages on a single wiki, we don't purge the pages using it on that wiki. In any case, I imagine most cases where you do this sort of thing are for files used on less than 500 pages, which would be an inconsequential amount of pages to purge. As a technical point, the pages in question aren't actually regenerated immediately - what actually happens is they're marked as needing to be regenerated next time someone visits them. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Wikibugs-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l
