Ysbert wrote: I just started with Lua some days ago, and further I don't know much about these kind of "computer things". I would say HTML, since it comes from a MediaWiki extention, but again: I'm not an expert. I was actually wondering about the output of the category tree extension, not the lua extension. I looked at the code and it seems to be html rather than wikitext. That'll make reformatting it much harder...

Anyone using DPL should always include that parameter to cache the results and reduces the server load considerably, useful for Wikia at least. That may be true. But when advised by the staff about its limitations I just decided not to activate it for the wikia. Too much hassle for too little gain. I'm sure there are more inventive and effective ways of achieving the same thing.
