WP:PERF: new section
WP:PERF: done, though more could be done
Line 15:
 
Why exactly is the documentation here making recommendations that ignore [[WP:PERF]]? Aiming to improve module performance on individual pages is fine, since all modules on a page share the same execution time limit, but worrying about the cumulative effects on the servers of a minor syntactic difference applied to hundreds of thousands of pages just reeks of blatantly and flippantly ignoring both the spirit and the letter of WP:PERF. Of particular relevance is the section [[WP:PERF#Editors still have a role to play]], and especially the line "Worry about performance if you can tell the difference yourself." (Note that I am not suggesting the module itself should be recoded, only that the documentation should be rewritten to not tell people to worry about the impacts of their coding choices when said impacts are only detectable when measured across thousands of pages.) <span class=nowrap>「[[User:Dinoguy1000|<span style=color:#00f>ディノ<span style=color:#080>奴]][[Special:Contributions/Dinoguy1000|<span style=color:#F90>千?!]]」<sup>[[Help:IJP|?]] · [[User talk:Dinoguy1000#top|☎ Dinoguy1000]]</sup></span> 22:50, 20 July 2016 (UTC)
 
:I have [[WP:BOLD|gone ahead]] and made the necessary changes to the documentation since over a month has passed with no comment here. It's worth noting, though, that I may have missed some statements, and to comment more generally, it feels to me reading through the documentation, like a lot of it would benefit from a rewrite. <span class=nowrap>「[[User:Dinoguy1000|<span style=color:#00f>ディノ<span style=color:#080>奴]][[Special:Contributions/Dinoguy1000|<span style=color:#F90>千?!]]」<sup>[[Help:IJP|?]] · [[User talk:Dinoguy1000#top|☎ Dinoguy1000]]</sup></span> 12:05, 9 September 2016 (UTC)
