new extension created initial folder + some stuff, it's work in progress Comment: You are right, this could be a problem, but as you said, I don't know if it's possible to solve it, anyway if you look at the purpose of this extension, it shouldn't be that big problem. Idea is to let people create interactive template which changes its content when user get unblocked as replacement for static templates which are being used now (in case of enwp), in worst case it shows wrong information, which would be same wrong as what happens now with static templates. This already happens with other magic words implemented in mediawiki core, even these get cached, and unless you purge they may return wrong value. I don't know if parser can actually prevent page caching at all, maybe yes, but if not, keep in mind that it's very unlike that this problem would happen, since most of people who would open the user talk page with this magic word would have possibly the cache expired that time (it doesn't happen frequently that you open a talk page of anon user who was blocked in past, especially in time when block is expired cache would be probably expired too) _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-CodeReview mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-codereview
