Recently, I have seen multiple requests for pages that were once autimatically updated, like Orphaned pages, to be updated. It is my understanding, that the automatic updating of these pages was turned off because the server was running slowly. Since then, we have gotten a second server. So could someone please turn these services back on?
They're still very slow and take the wiki to its knees for minutes at a time.
These functions need to be rewritten in an efficient manner before they'll be reenabled on the big, slow English wiki.
What if we cached each of the pages (as we do now), updating the cache each day during the times of lowest traffic? That would keep the pages reasonably up-to-date, while at the same time adding only a little to the server strain.
