Actually, that view spike might have been from when I posted a link to a recent changes log item to #haskell on Freenode, trying to find out if I should revert it or not. Immediately following the post, people started mentioning that the site was running slow. I checked the server, and it was running an instantaneous load average of 0.46. It made me realize that RC is not in a good position to get Slashdotted again. And it doesn't help that I keep invalidating all the caches every time I add an extension or change a MediaWiki setting. And we're likely to see more of that, as I created [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:RedditTag an extension] to allow reddit buttons to be added to pages, and added it to [[Template:Task]]... --[[User:Short Circuit|Short Circuit]] 09:49, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

I'm beginning to think I shouldn't do any sort of mass-edits. I just make more work for ''you''. I clicked Preview every time, I swear! :-P Still, a complete switchover to the '''lang''' tags would be good, IMO, whether or not we have support for all of the languages in question. Since all of the code between those tags goes through a specific code path I can easily modify, there are a bunch of interesting things I can do. I'm thinking of adding "download this code" and "copy this code to clipboard" buttons, for example, and possibly dumping the code into another database table where I can come up with interesting ways to package and analyze it.--[[User:Short Circuit|Short Circuit]] 17:05, 12 February 2009 (UTC)
