Anonymous tests

There's two anonymous tests on the page for 4.0-7714 and an entry for it in version compatibility. However no such revision exists on the Dolphin site if you click the link. I even went back in the master download list and found the gap where it's supposed to be, and it's not there. - Xerxes (talk) 11:48, 4 January 2018 (CET)

Nice find, I vote to remove them, their testing results are already sketchy. I have a crazy thought, thinking of creating a script with pretty exhaustive list of actually existing revisions and ship into template:Testing/entry, they will run through testing entries for bogus Dolphin revisions. I can feel there's massive performance hit coming if we do that. We will catch every bogus testing entries that way, then revert the changes to template:Testing/entry if we still feel scary about it.

I went ahead and removed them. It may be possible to do what you're suggesting, but I highly doubt it's possible from within the wiki. There's a 200 loop limit on every page which we've been carefully skirting around. I was testing sorting algorithms on my user page for something similar (sorting test entries/dates in infobox maybe) but after around 13-15 elements in the list, I would hit the maximum loop counter. Now imagine some kind of loop going through every test revision; not going to happen. With outside scripting though, sure. - Xerxes (talk) 08:36, 7 January 2018 (CET)
