I'd go solving the problem with the toolserver MMP. It can be improved later. I see a potential problem of missing new content added to a page, though. I'm not sure how Kevin expected to handle it. It's possible that the archiver automatically recrawls then so it isn't needed (eg. IA vs WebCite). _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
