Re: [Semediawiki-user] an #ask with parameters from the URL?

[Jeroen De D. <jer...@gm...>]

Hey,

Looking at the code of the UrlGetParameters extension on it's documentation
page, I don't see why it would be slow. It probably should be using
$wgRequest instead of accessing $_GET directly, but I doubt the current
approach makes it slower.

Cheers
