Yes, it's been filed before and WONTFIXed
because parsing dozens or
hundreds of pages in one request is kind of scary performance-wise
but clearly it would be more resource efficient than issuing 30 separate
additional requests... maybe we could enable it with a low row return
count say 30 ?
For queries that's true, but for stuff like parsing there
wouldn't be
much of a difference in performance.
It should be able to grab the output from the parse
cache
no?
It does that already, *if* the page you're parsing is in the parser cache.
With my use case of returning search result
descriptions...it does not
really need html it just needs striped wikitext or even a striped
segment of wikitext.
You'd be way better off stripping wikitext yourself then. Shouldn't be
too hard.
* Maybe we could support the output striped wikitext
(really what we
want for search results) ...
It appears Lucene and the internal mysql store the index in striped form
if we could add access to that from the api that would be ideal way
forward I think.
That'd be good, yes. I'll look into this.
