In case anyone thinks #MediaWiki is alone in not paginating all pages of results (for watchlists, in its case) —#Flickr also does it on the user's tags' pages at `https://www.flickr.com/photos/<username>/tags`.

How do I know? I'm silly and have added checksum machine tags to many of my photos. Now that page is 14 MB of HTML. But at least I can sort of find duplicates.

The theory of operation of my cursed "Force a #Touhou wiki to dump all soundtrack tables and format them as a JSON string dynamically using a #MediaWiki Wikitext template" code is now public. https://github.com/TouhouOML/TouhouOML/blob/main/docs/thbwiki.md
Just enhanced my Wikitext to JSON template, now it queries all mapping tables in all three available languages, it even tries escaping the strings before manually constructing a JSON string. #MediaWiki templates as a general-purpose query language.
Here's my latest cursed invention: extract data from #MediaWiki as JSON by constructing it manually using string manipulations and loop functions in Wiki markups, effectively a array.map(lambda var: do_something(var)). Finally one can evaluate the markup input via expandtemplates. It looks like the dirtiest hack, but it allows extremely efficient data query using a single API call, speeding up the query by a factor of 10-100 (this custom Table Mapping extension's API has no support of batching). MediaWiki markup as a general-purpose data query language.

I'm stuck with an apparently simple situation trying to run a #mediawiki development environment with #podman on #fedora ... Just in case anyone has the right tip to solve this problem with permissions, here is the full writeup:

Mediawiki development environment with docker - how do I run with podman?

I still have to deal with #WebsiteOutages , and currently I have another massive one which won't go away by purging the Varnish cache. As usual, the outage started between 23:00 and 24:00 UTC, which is _weird_.

I have asked Gandi.net customer service a few weeks ago, but beyond suggesting blocking a random crawler, they said the following:

"Personally, I would check the plugins on my various websites and the scheduled tasks (especially backup plugins)."

I don't remember installing such plugins manually. Does anyone know of such processes that are installed on either #WordPress or #MediaWiki sites by default? (Or perhaps this is done by #SemanticMediaWiki ?)

In three days I will be leaving for a vacation, so this is the last opportunity I have to improve this situation this year.
