Caching
How long is a failure cached?

I tried using a file on RationalWiki, which uses InstantCommons. The file didn't exist (it was on en:wp, not Commons). I moved the file to Commons, but RationalWiki still thinks it doesn't exist in the foreign file repo. "?action=purge" does nothing. How long do I have to wait? RW is using 1.14.1. - David Gerard 12:48, 31 July 2010 (UTC)

Scalability issues still present?
Have the issues related to scalability been solved? Or is there still a risk of DoS attacks? Has the "internal bandwidth limitation" been implemented? --Spangineer 13:25, 11 May 2011 (UTC)

Technical documentation would be helpful
This could benefit from some technical docs of how this works. Badon 02:30, 27 November 2011 (UTC)

Bug
Very useful, but doesn't work with djvu. Marc 01:30, 9 December 2011 (UTC)
 * What error do you get? If you see a file name instead of the actual image, go to Manual:How to use DjVu with MediaWiki and fill in information in your LocalSettings.php under the section for your operating system and then retry. --Stefan2 00:18, 27 January 2012 (UTC)

.svg as an example
Maybe a .png file from commons would be better? Not everyone has .svg support on their wiki. Schalice (talk) 00:11, 16 February 2012 (UTC)
