Re: [MediaWiki-l] categories and templates

Hi, in my "private wiki" Religion-in-Japan (http://www.univie.ac.at/rel_jap/an), I am experiencing with templates that create categories which then serve to create automatic lists of illustrations. My problem is that my wiki behaves very strangely when updating the categories after a change in the template. Not only is the update very slow (a matter of days or weeks), I also get wrong updates as if I used a template version of weeks ago. As far as I know, "runJobs.php" should help here, but for whatever reason it has ceased to work. Of course, I have disabled all chaches for the time being. The question: am I asking too much of my wiki if I constantly change categories by use of templates? And is there a way to get things right here, for instance abort all jobs? I suspect, the wiki tries to run all old jobs many of which have become obsolete and that this is the cause of my problems. Any suggestion much appreciated Bernhard PS: For technical reasons I am not able to install semantic wiki and therefore use Extension:DPL (third party) for creating my lists. *************** Dr. Bernhard Scheid Austrian Academy of Sciences Institute for the Cultural and Intellectual History of Asia Apostelgasse 23 1030 Vienna, Austria Tel.: +43-1-51581 6424 E-mail: bernhard.scheid@oeaw.ac.at<mailto:bernhard.scheid@oeaw.ac.at> _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-l mailing list To unsubscribe, go to: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l
