You might get one parse for the default global settings, parser cache, and link tables, and then another parse for the current user if their settings differ. In general, you should assume that parsing is idempotent -- the same actions should happen and the same result should be returned every time you call with the same input. Otherwise you may run into trouble with things not expected what you're doing. -- brion _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l
