What do you mean when you talk about skins being cached?

The categories for each image can't be stored in the parsed text, that will mean updates don't propagate until the next reparse. Okay, so how about this instead: when generating the page, the server retrieves all categories for all images on the page, then checks against site and user preferences to see if any need to be censored, and if so, stick a list into the <head>. That should work fine -- it should be okay to retrieve the categories (local and foreign) for each image on the page on every page load, right? However, the image loading would have to be revised somehow, to not delay the loading of uncensored images . . . as usual, IE is the problem here. Aside from older IE versions, we could use attribute selectors, img[src=http://......], assuming we can get the src easily on the server side for each image. _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
