Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: interwiki Group: None >Status: Closed >Resolution: Fixed Priority: 7 Private: No Submitted By: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: iw bot doesn't detect edit conflict Initial Comment: interwiki bots read several pages at once and if the bot is delayed for some reason while processing these pages (network connection error or whatever other reason), it happens that the bot works on an outdated copy of the page (e.g. http://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=National_Basketball_Association&diff=47387879&oldid=47241804) and doesn't detect edit conflict when putting the updated page. This results in edits like this (http://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=National_Basketball_Association&diff=47387879&oldid=47377836) that definitely should be avoided. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: NicDumZ — Nicolas Dumazet (nicdumz) Date: 2009-04-14 17:54 Message: that bug has been fixed recently, see https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=603138&aid=2119685&group_id=93107 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: NicDumZ — Nicolas Dumazet (nicdumz) Date: 2008-06-23 11:04 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1963242 Originator: NO While this may sound a bit wieird, I confirm this : I've reproced this several times in the past while testing rciw.py, where it eventually forced me to implement the -safe argument. See for example http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Barack_Obama&diff=213072670&oldid=213070816 : it looks like DumZiBoT is broken and removing some content. However, if you do a diff with a 2 hours (!!!) older versions : http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Barack_Obama&diff=213072670&oldid=213051303 it makes sense. See the edit history at this period : http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Barack_Obama&offset=20080517174000&limit=7&action=history Here is an other diff from kisbes' bot : http://hu.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=2008-as_labdar%C3%BAg%C3%B3-Eur%C3%B3pa-bajnoks%C3%A1g&diff=3444141&oldid=3444103 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=603138&aid=1999895&group_id=93107 _______________________________________________ Pywikipedia-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/pywikipedia-l
