Re: Upgrade testing

Hi all

I just spent the last two hours circling around SMW and its hard to tell
where is the source of the problem.

A possible solution path would be to refactor a little bit how the
images are called because there's a lot of factors.

1) Which block gets called [0][1][3][4]
2) Which image gets called [8][9]
3) Which file in the backend gets called (at Fastly layer) [10][11]
4) which file gets called in which context [12][13] ... as in depending
on which version it wants... thumb, or not. If the backend has it
5) If the cache at Fastly is broken for that particular file
6) If the MediaWiki cache needs ?action=purge (e.g. on [8]?action=purge)

Let's see if we can get a pattern on where its broken on the /upgrade/
and fix it.
