Editing Template doesn't effect pages in 1.23wmf7 and 1.23wmf8 branches

Description

Author: omid_h28

Description:
I've just created a few Templates and used them in a page. Everything went normal until I edited a template, I've noticed that editing a template doesn't effect my page and I need to re-save the page in order to see template's change.

I've tried another browser and refreshed many time but it didn't work.


Version: 1.23.0

Hi omid,
unfortunately this report is not very useful because it does not describe the problem well. If you have time and can still reproduce the problem, please read https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/How_to_report_a_bug and add a more useful description to this report by providing *exact* steps to reproduce. This highly depends on the template content, so currently this report is too generic to investigate.

Thanks Andre for advice.
This problem doesn't exist in mediawiki 1.22 and prior.
To reproduce the problem, Use git to download and install latest mediawiki. Create a Template, Title doesn't matter, Keep content simple and type "hi". Use the Template in any page you want, Mainpage for example, then edit the template, you can even delete it but It doesn't change Mainpage content.

However, Since It's not easy to keep this problem hidden I guess this problem isn't related to Mediawiki itself.
I've looked my apache error.log and found many "libgcc_s.so.1 must be installed for pthread_cancel to work" error.
I should note that I use php 5.5.7, ubuntu 12.04 and apach2 2.4.6

Exact branch which problem has been occurred in 1.23wmf7 & 1.23wmf8
1.23wmf6 and prior branches are fine.

Have you been running the job queue? See [[mw:Manual:Job queue]].

I've just started creating my wiki so my pages are few.
php ./runJobs.php would fix it but only for once. I must run it again to update next changes.

Changing to 1.23wmf6 branch fix the problem, It seems problem has been made in branch 1.23wmf7

Have you asked on https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Project:Support_desk ?

No, have you tried to reproduce the problem?

Well, how could I reproduce if it's probably not about MediaWiki itself?
Currently this looks like a support issue so I might close this Bugzilla ticket at some point, simply because the Support desk is meant for help for such problems.

No, have you tried to reproduce the problem?

Yes and I can't. Hence why I left it in the UNCONFIRMED state.

Given that you said running runJobs.php fixed it, I'm guessing you just need to run it more often (use a cronjob), or increase the value of [[mw:Manual:$wgJobRunRate]].
