do not sent api requests for empty inputs, e.g. after a character input followed by a backspace in the search input. Make sure to clear the result div to wipe previous results at the client w/o sending a request. Lowers server load Comment: I see 3 (plus me now, so 4) developers already objecting to the change, that's enough consensus to revert for me. Revert early, revert often. If we poll this for 3 months and then decide to remove it then, it makes the revert that much more difficult. _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-CodeReview mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-codereview
