If I Edit, then Show preview, it's already updated, even before Save page.
I personally find it a bit weird. Anyway, I did this on a test page and it
seems to work, but I have to wait a day to make sure the date does not
change...
In any case, it does affect performance. Not sure it's very significant,
though.
I now changed the following pages (picked up randomly):
http://www.ovirt.org/Features/Minimum_guaranteed_memory
http://www.ovirt.org/Features/MultiHostNetworkConfiguration
http://www.ovirt.org/Features/Node/PluginLiveInstall
http://www.ovirt.org/Features/Node/PackageRefactoring
http://www.ovirt.org/Features/Automatic_scaling
I changed it to:
Last updated on {{REVISIONYEAR}}-{{REVISIONMONTH}}-{{REVISIONDAY}} by
{{REVISIONUSER}}
That is, ISO date.
If we do not see a significant impact in a few days, we should probably edit
all pages, probably with some bot.
I don't see any reason why this should effect performance. The "expensive"
warning
is about showing revision meta data for another page.
