:::Anon: Among the top 100 most-linked to pages in the wiki, there are 15 users (and sometimes associated talk pages). The top linked user is Clarinet Hawk, with almost 700 links. If CHawk had been using a template for his signature, and he decided to change it, ''all 700'' of those pages he's signed on have to be recached-- now suppose all 15 of those top-linked users changed their signature. – [[User:Emmett|<span style="color:#000000">Emmett</span>]] 14:54, 23 October 2011 (EDT) | :::Anon: Among the top 100 most-linked to pages in the wiki, there are 15 users (and sometimes associated talk pages).
