deferred txt A few of the database updates required by various functions here can be deferred until after the result page is displayed to the user For updating the view updating the linked to tables after a etc PHP does not yet have any way to tell the server to actually return and disconnect while still running these but it might have such a feature in the future We handle these by creating a deferred update object and putting those objects on a global then executing the whole list after the page is displayed We don t do anything smart like collating updates to the same table or such because the list is almost always going to have just one item on if that
The classes in this directory are general utilities for use by any part of MediaWiki They do not favour any particular user interface and are not constrained to serve any particular feature This is similar to includes except that some dependency on the MediaWiki framework(such as the use of MWException, Status or wfDebug()) disqualifies them from use outside of MediaWiki without modification.Utilities should not use global configuration variables

globals txt Globals are evil The original MediaWiki code relied on globals for processing context far too often MediaWiki development since then has been a story of slowly moving context out of global variables and into objects Storing processing context in object member variables allows those objects to be reused in a much more flexible way Consider the elegance of
database rows
in this case you re responsible for computing and outputting the entire conflict part
