Side Bar and Slow Loading
I'm sure most of you have noticed this by now, but sometimes loading pages when logged in can be painfully slow. Also when submitting pages take ages to load.
This is because of how badly optimized the Sidebar is currently.
As you can see there are hundreds of switch statements for every line and there is a reason for that. The way Sidebar is handled is that it cannot all be on the same line.
For Example:
- Characters
- Elsword
- Raven
Would work. However this would not:
- Characters **Elsword **Raven
Why is this so important? Because switch statements has to be handled on one line and cannot be separated into many. See here for more info (http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Interface/Sidebar#Parser_functions_in_sidebar)
As a result, everytime a page is loaded or saved, all these lines need to be ran each time and therefore can cause slowdowns. The reason why its fast for people not logged in is because it is cached.
If anyone has any ideas on how we can fix this, please let us know. Thanks!

Variable and Loop Parser Functions (Extensions) Requirement
| variable and loop functions requirement |
|---|
| I think Variable and Loop parser functions should be added to elwiki. Sometimes, loop and variable define makes benefits when making templates.
For Example:
{{#switch: {{{Village|}}}
| 1={{#vardefine:Color|green}}
| 2={{#vardefine:Color|red}}
...
| 7={{#vardefine:Color|orange}}
}}
Now, no matter what village, their corresponding theme color are set to variable Color, then what you need to do is to pass |
