Sorry if is that.
That's pretty much what mediawiki does. The template is only parsed when article is modified. With the template calculating the age of the subject you need to calculate it every time (or cache the output for each template with each set of parameters). When you modify the template, if i has many uses, the pages using it will used the cached version of the page until the job queue reaches to update it. _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
