782114 - Automatically regenerate pages using a modified kuma template

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 772704

(developer.mozilla.org Graveyard :: Editing, defect)

Description

[Jean-Yves Perrier [:teoli]]

When we modify a template, we have to manually do a shift-reload to see the change taken into account by the pages using this template.

This is annoying for three reasons:
1) We don't have the list of which pages use it (that's bug 773855 )
2) There may be 100s of them... Updating manually is not practical.
3) Some kumascript are used as a simple DB, meaning that some articles will be outdated and un-synchronized (read: incoherent info provided to the user).

Note: no need to have them updated synchronously when we check-in a change in the template. There is no problem having to wait up to 10 minutes to have all pages updated.

Priority: though not a P0, I believe this one is quite important (P1 or at least P2). Little by little, more pages are not up-to-date.

To mitigate the problem we could regenerate all pages periodically (once a week?), like we did right after the launch. Doing this would push the priority from P1 to P2 or even P3.
