Hello May be this is a stupid question but what about basing 'page.isRedirectPage()' on 'getVersionHistory(revCount=1)' instead of 'get()' because this could be faster for big pages...? Thanks and Greetings! DrTrigon

Not a stupid question. Yes, that would be faster. Using the API, however, is even better, and this is exactly what is done in the rewrite. As such, I would suggest not to implement this in the trunk - the current version works, albeit slow. If this is really a problem for you, upgrade to the rewrite.

I'm already using a lot of slight changes with respect to the code given. But I'm trying to "merge" somehow and kill s much of them as possible. I would be willing to use the rewrite, but it seams that there a lot has changed, despite the fact that it has to be installed into the python version (was this done on the toolserver), how are different config handeled?

Side question: Is there an on-wiki way (a magic word or so) to detect whether a certain page is a redirect? Have been looking for such functionality recently when working on templates. Thanks for any pointers, Daniel On Sat, Sep 11, 2010 at 5:30 PM, Dr. Trigon <dr.trigon(a)surfeu.ch> wrote:

Hmm... As far as I known that is not possible. I may be wrong, though, I haven't done very much work with templates. EdoDodo Sent from my iPhone On 11 Sep 2010, at 09:47 PM, Daniel Mietchen <daniel.mietchen(a)googlemail.com> wrote:
