Hello, I'm checking whether I can detect that a process is run from a maintenance script in a parser function extension. Which would be the best way / more recommendable to detect it? Thanks! -- Toni Hermoso Pulido http://www.cau.cat

$wgCommandLineMode should be able to tell you, although I think checking if the RUN_MAINTENANCE_IF_MAIN constant is set is probably a better method. *--* *Tyler Romeo* Stevens Institute of Technology, Class of 2015 Major in Computer Science www.whizkidztech.com | tylerromeo(a)gmail.com

More interesting question - why do you need to know. Making wikitext vary between maintenance script and normal may cause a bit of breakage given jobQueue etc. -bawolff

Hello, maybe it's a bit weird and little orthodox… In any case, it's for batch processing (with WikiPage::doEdit) some wiki pages that have a UserFunctions parserfunction in their wikitext http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:UserFunctions so that such parser function is ignored in building the page.

Ok, that's probably safe, since that extension disables caching. --bawolff

Why do you want to do it? It is probably a bad idea.
