On the subject of diff efficiency, which button is more expensive, Show Preview or Show Changes? I have an ultraparanoid bot which "presses" one or both before actually submitting, and it occurs to me that it would be marginally easier on the servers if the bot used the cheaper one first. (Though of course only if substantial numbers of its doublechecks failed, which they typically don't.) _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@wikimedia.org http://mail.wikipedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
