Thread:Project:Support desk/User agent/reply (3)

Yepp, that would have a performance impact, which surely is not wanted. I mean you can also add a link in the "Weblinks" section pointing to a page, which displays the user agent. Apart from that it would be an interesting question whether it would be possible to render a whole page cached except a certain part of it, which is computed newly each time. I know of content management systems, which can do exactly that, but it requires quite some code and some logic inside the system (different caches, markers for the areas to be post processed and the post precessing itself). I have not heard of such a functionality when it comes to MediaWiki processing the content itself. However, I still think it is not doable with a reasonable amount of effort. :-(
