[19:34:59] <legoktm>	 AaronSchulz: have you seen https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T141804?
[21:45:07] <AaronSchulz>	 legoktm: yeah, it probably should start as an empty wan cache and get injected in the proper setup phase
[22:54:37] <robla>	 bd808 (or anyone else who knows) - do you have a link to a pithy explanation of what's wrong with "implementation is the spec" thinking?
[22:55:13] <robla>	 this is always amusing, but doesn't quite capture it: <http://xkcd.com/1172/>
[22:56:25] <bd808>	 hmmm... it's just wrong. so wrong that its hard to explain how and why it's wrong ;)
[22:58:41] <robla>	 yeah, I'm sure *someone* has the definitive treatise on it, I just don't have URL squirreled away (that I can find)
[22:58:53] <bd808>	 if the implementation is the spec then its hard to say that the implemenation is incorrect
[22:59:50] <bd808>	 robla: like say ... the MW core parser :/
[23:00:20] <bd808>	 it implicitly provides the spec for what is well formed wikitext
[23:00:39] <bd808>	 (along with any random extension that extends that base spec)
[23:02:07] <robla>	 I think that's a big reason why this is happening: https://www.google.com/trends/explore#q=mediawiki%2C%20markdown&cmpt=q&tz=Etc%2FGMT%2B7
