Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: interwiki Group: None
Status: Closed
Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Woo-Jin Kim (kwj2772) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: interwiki.py -wiktionary
Initial Comment: interwiki.py -wiktionary take too much time to process.
Currently, interwiki bot retreives 60 en article, next 60 fr article. (language code is just an example)
I suggest for bot to retreive all wiki entries with same name at the same time to reduce time to retreive.
Thank you.

Message: I am pretty confident that, the current way of retrieval is usually much faster, because it is using the [[Special:Export]] special page so as to retrieve those up to 60 (unless -array is used) pages at once, in a single http request.
Pages of different language wikis are retrieved from URLs having different domains, thus there is no way known to me to have them bundeld into a single http request. Thus they would approximately take (up to) 60 times as long. A http request consumes almost the same clock time, while increasing its length only marginally adds to its duration.
Thus I suggest closing this suggestion as "wontfix". I leave it open though so as to give others an opportunity to possibly disagree with me :-)
