Description Liangent 2013-06-18 02:40:54 UTC 
This may eliminate or deprioritize a bunch of other Lua requests.
Comment 1 Brad Jorsch 2013-06-18 15:05:29 UTC 
Note this has been discussed before. The biggest problem is that calling potentially slow and expensive API modules from the page parse is probably not a good idea.

Won't it be counted in Lua execution limit?
Comment 3 Bawolff (Brian Wolff) 2013-06-18 15:23:00 UTC 
Note, some api modules are not safe to call during parsing, since the invoke $wgParser. (Most notably action=parse and action=edit. however we probably wouldn't want to allow those two anyway, but there may be other modules that do this)
