A couple things added recently:
* Pages containing '{{' (as indicator of replacement variables -- date,
number of articles etc) are expired from the page cache after 1 hour.
This helps with the less-often-edited mainpages on some languages, where
"today's date" and "we have X articles" was often wildly
inaccurate for
incoming anons.
* When database is locked, 'edit page' shows a read-only text field with
the article text (if on a non-empty page) so text can be copied out and
edited offline.
