Hi John. A few months late, I noticed [http://www.wikiindex.org/index.php?title=Community_Portal&diff=54745&oldid=54278 your note] on the [[Community Portal]] about DPL. We had similar problems with the scalability of that feature at Wikia. One thing we found helped a lot was to have a specific DPL server, so that slow queries only affect other DPL queries rather than affecting the whole site. Removing DPL from the most popular pages such as the [[Welcome|home page]] can make a huge difference, and having social rules about using simpler queries such as basic category intersections rather than anything complex can help to limit use to levels the site can cope with. I hope you're able to revive it - it was a useful feature here. [[User:Angela|Angela]] 15:21, 17 October 2008 (EDT) | Hi John.
