[edit] Details
Interwiki caching consists of the following three settings:
- $wgInterwikiCache
- This setting specifies path to constant database file. This cdb database is generated by dumpInterwiki from maintenance and has such key formats:
- dbname:key - a simple key (e.g. enwiki:meta)
- _sitename:key - site-scope key (e.g. wiktionary:meta)
- __global:key - global-scope key (e.g. __global:meta)
- __sites:dbname - site mapping (e.g. __sites:enwiki)
- Sites mapping just specifies site name, other keys provide "local url" data layout.
- $wgInterwikiScopes
- This setting specifies the number of domains to check for messages:
- - Just wiki(db)-level
- - wiki and global levels
- - site levels
- $wgInterwikiFallbackSite
- This setting is used if unable to resolve from the cache.
This appears to use a constant database file (created by one of the maintenance scripts) to provide a list of valid interwiki prefixes and corresponding URLs.
