Hi
Three times now in about a week or so, some spanish editors reported me a
weird bug, that makes them see the wrong date on some pages or on recent
changes. See the last comment

I know there was a bug a while ago about this, but as far as I understood,
it was fixed.
Still... there is still something going on and people still regularly see a
wrong date.
A couple of personal observations...
... I also noticed in the past few days a huge issue with cache.
Three times yesterday, when I edited meta, for a new page, after I saved
the page, there was nothing on it, and I had to reload to see the new page.
That also happened to me on the Foundation website yesterday, when I tried
to create a redirection from "board" to "board of Trustees". After
saving,
the page was empty.
This happens very often to me, especially on pick time.
Weirder is what is currently happening on the village
pump on the french
wikipedia (though part of it might be due to Paris servers).
I connected anonymously yesterday, and I got the 14th of may page. I reload
several times, forced reload... and still got the 14th of may.
I ended up login, I still had the 14th of may, but after one simple reload,
I finally got the 17th.
This is probably due to the way the French WP is now managed with subpages.
When a new subpage is added, the cache of the VP has to be purged, but users
forget to do it. I did it yesterday and the VP was updated as you saw it.
I *think* there is a problem here. I do not know what
it is, but if I have
the idea to reload and reload and login and reload again to finally get the
right page, I do not think readers or recent editors think of doing this.
Any ideas ?
Anthere (looking for the future, not so much on the past)
