Purging a few thousand pages from Squid on an image reupload (should
be rare for such a heavily-used image) is okay. Purging every single
page on the wiki is not.
yea .. we are just talking about adding image.jpg?image_revision_id to
all the image src at page render time should never purge everything on
the wiki ;)
No. We don't purge Squid on these events, we just
let people see old
copies. Of course, this doesn't normally apply to registered users
(who usually [always?] get Squid misses), or to pages that aren't
cached (edit, history, . . .).
oky thats basically what I understood. That makes sense.. although it
would be nice to think about a job or process that purges pages with
outdated language msg, or pages that are referencing outdated scripts,
style-sheet, or image urls.
We ~do~ add jobs to purge for template updates. Are other things like
language msg & code updates candidates for job purge tasks? ... I guess
its not too big a deal to get an old page until someone updates it.
