purging Main Page cache
Could the bot purge the cache of the Main Page after updating the FA number, so that the updated version appears immediately? Thanks, BanyanTree 17:22, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
- Certainly. It now does so. --Jmax- 22:54, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
Problem?
This page gets used in Template:TFAfooter, which gets used on the 'article of the day' pages, which get displayed on the Main page. Ergo, anything on this page gets displayed on the Main page. As such, I'd think that this page needs to be protected... but that would prevent the bot from updating it. Thoughts? --CBD 12:49, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
- Jumping in here, user subpages ending in ".js" may be edited only by the user and by admins, so it is, in effect, protected. (Try looking at User:Jmax-bot/FACount.js while logged out.) This was a bit of a hack as several Wikipedians at the requests for approval page said that they would not support sysopping the bot so it could edit a protected template, which was the original proposal. If the .js subpage workaround didn't emerge as an option that would allow a non-sysop bot to get a counter on the Main Page, the bot would be putting the numbers in more intuitively named pages in the template space or not be working at all. - BanyanTree 13:21, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
- Ah right, I'd forgotten about that aspect of .js pages. All ok then. --CBD 14:05, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
