This email highlighted and remind me of a couple of issues, 1. The indexing functionality and how it fails for transcluded pages; which is integral to ProofreadPage when it transcludes working pages into the main namespace for display. https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18861 (thanks to MZMcBride for helping me track this down)
2. The support around djvu files in general, which is improved, though still lacking in the <gallery> extension, see https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8480 Both of which have an impact for WS, though not exclusive to the site.
