Hi, I have an extension that needs to parse some wiki text. I started with: $title = $parser->internalParse($title); but found that links were not always processing correctly [[Main Page]] was saying as that, but interestingly the first [[:image: ]] tags was parsing $title = $parser->parse($title,$wgTitle,ParserOptions::newFromUser($wgUser),false,false)->getText(); ... however did. This is with MW 1.13.1. However now the batch processes take forever, and the culprit is the "->parse" - it seems to take exponentially longer to run. internalParse runs quicker, so for the time being I have detected commandline functions and NS_SPECIAL pages and sent it that way (as I don't really care if the pages parse correctly or not there). Are there any expected known limitations of internalParse? Should it always output the same as parse or are there certain cases which will never work with it?
