-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 NSK wrote: Hello, Do you mean Special:Import ? Brion talked about it during the 21C3. IIRC: when the script imports an history line in 'cur', the previous history entry is moved to 'old'. So when you import 10 history lines, the script writes the whole article text 10 times in cur, deletes it 9 times in cur, writes it 9 times in old. The end result is that it is not efficient :o) The issue will be solved in 1.5 with the new database schema (wich will avoid the need to write/delete the whole textn only dealing with metadata). In conclusion, and if I am not wrong, Special:Import will be shipped in 1.5 or later. cheers, - -- Ashar Voultoiz - WP++++ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Hashar Servers in trouble ? noc (at) wikimedia (dot) org "This signature is a virus.
