Two questions:

Question 1: I have an external forum about the wiki that came long before I had the wiki created. Is there a way to add interwiki to it but not in the interwiki table? I only see wikis, and no forums. I want to use ForumLink:, not http://something.somehost.com/index.cgi?action=board:1345&thread=343567425. Is there any way?

Question 2: I have new members come in every day. However, since people joined 2 weeks ago, the Special:Userlist has not been updated at all. They make edits, I see them, but I don't see the user list. Any way to cache it early?

Per your first question, the interwiki would have to be in the interwiki table, so it would probably be easiest for you to make a template, like {{forumlink|1345|343567425|text}} with contents <span class="plainlinks">[http://something.somehost.com/index.cgi?action=board:{{urlencode:{{{1}}}}}&thread={{urlencode:{{{2}}}}} {{{3|forum/{{{1}}}/{{{2}}}/}}}]</span> or something. --Splarka (talk) <Staff> 08:12, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
