Rosetta Code:Village Pump/Unimplemented tasks: Difference between revisions

=It exists!=

I'm really, ''really'' sorry at how insanely busy the Recent Changes log will be by the time this is done. In other news, I have written a bot that will keep a page of tasks for which each language has not had implementations written for it. The process of creating these pages is very CPU intensive, and spams the heck out of the Recent Changes log, so I don't think I'm going to have the bot run very frequently. Probably once per week. And, yes, it will be getting its own bot account, same as GugaTagFixer. On the bright side, we ''finally'' have these lists! --[[User:Short Circuit|Short Circuit]] 08:07, 16 February 2009 (UTC)

=To Bot or Not to Bot?=

'''I think that using bots isn't a good thing, it's better try to use a [[PHP]] Script to display unimplemented tasks, take a look at my code. This using rewrite engine will be awesome.'''--[[User:Guga360|Guga360]] 21:59, 16 February 2009 (UTC)

: There are two main reasons I didn't go with that approach.

:# The intersection is calculated every time the page is viewed, which means two queries for each view. That will fail under loads far lighter than MediaWiki will otherwise normally handle.
