Interwiki cache/uk

MediaWiki має таблицю бази даних (таблиця ) для інтервікі-префіксів. За замовчуванням це використовується безпосередньо, але для кращої продуктивності можна використовувати два типи кешування.

Таким чином, «кеш інтервікі» може посилатися на два типи кешування, але в контексті Вікімедіа він зазвичай відноситься до кешування CDB.

База даних і memcached
When memcached is enabled, the interwiki prefixes of the database table will be cached too. This can be controlled using the setting.

This cache can be cleared using the script. It removes the caching based on the prefixes found in the database table.

Кеш інтервікі
The variable can be set to a custom cache that will be used instead, as a replacement for the database table.

Until 2015, Wikimedia used it to configure the path to a CDB file that is loaded from disk when needed. Since 2016, it is also supported to set directly to an array. This is typically done by storing the array in a PHP file containing  and loading it in the variable assignment with.

MediaWiki does not contain a script to build or update such a cache file (bug 33395), however WikimediaMaintenance contains which is a custom Wikimedia-specific scripts used for generating the Interwiki cache file for Wikimedia wikis.

The and  settings are used when reading this cache.

Налаштування цього на власній вікі
See Interwiki cache/Setup for your own wiki for cheap(er) ways to do it, assuming you want interwiki links on your wiki to take readers to the Wikimedia projects, and also for a bunch on info about the interwiki cdb file innards. For the more painful but more correct approach, see below.


 * You will need a copy of extension/WikimediaMaintenance; place this in the extensions directory in the root of your MediaWiki installation.
 * Retrieve the files all.dblist, special.dblist, and langlist and put them someplace (e.g. in a subdir in the base of your MediaWiki installation) for convenience.
 * Edit extension/WikimediaMaintenance/dumpInterwikis.php and change the path  for those three files to the path to the directory where you just put them.


 * From the base of your MediaWiki installation, do
 * Add this value to all.dblist, assuming it's not already in there. If it does not start with a known language code (e.g. it is, say, 'wikitech-mw_ instead of something nice like frwiktionary), add it also to special.dblist.  You can check the language codes in the langlist file you copied over.

 * From the base of your MediaWiki installation, make a copy of any existing cache/interwiki.db file you may have and then do
 * Edit LocalSettings.php and add
 * Edit LocalSettings.php and add
 * Edit LocalSettings.php and add

Now shortcuts and all other iw links should work for your project. Note that if you added it to 'special.dblist', it will behave as though it is a 'wikipedia' with en as the default language.

Отримання інтервікі
To view the interwiki prefixes, you can use the API (action=query&meta=siteinfo&siprop=interwikimap) or install the Interwiki extension. These return the prefixes in the database table, and since MW 1.19 these will also work correctly for CDB cached interwiki prefixes. When using memcached, they will return prefixes directly from the database. This could cause a slight difference because the database may have been modified since the last cache version, but since deleted entries are removed from the memcached cache too.
