[edit] RW Blog

I'm thinking about writing something about the Streisand effect in a few weeks - especially when it's cultivated to spread misinformation. Are there any submission policies I should watch out for? Osaka Sun (talk) 06:31, 6 April 2013 (UTC)

Not yet :-) Mostly just WRITE STUFF - David Gerard (talk) 08:16, 6 April 2013 (UTC)

[edit] Squid caching and shared hosting

Can it be done? I once saw a support discussion where someone asked about caching options, and Godaddy's response was that they didn't have caching options and that the admin should upgrade to VPS or dedicated. –Inquisitor Sasha (Talk | contribs | block) 18:35, 17 April 2013 (UTC)

That's pretty much right. It's for people who have a popular enough site that they should be running things personally - David Gerard (talk) 18:56, 17 April 2013 (UTC)
Does this seem at all slow for you? It seems slower than some other smaller wikis I've set up, though Google tools and stuff don't seem to complain much. http://www.sturmkrieg.us/Special:Random I entered $wgMainCacheType = CACHE_ACCEL; and it seemed like it worked a little, but I'm wondering if some sort of cache might be necessary. –Inquisitor Sasha (Talk | contribs | block) 19:29, 17 April 2013 (UTC)
Seems usable to me. A nice way to speed up MediaWiki if you don't/can't put a cache in front is the file cache. Worked pretty nicely on RW before we got the Squids - David Gerard (talk) 19:37, 17 April 2013 (UTC)
