Summary: Wrong image ordering
Product: MediaWiki
Version: 1.14-svn
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Normal
Component: API
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
CC: [email protected], [email protected]
I have a list of images gathered on the last month, via the API allimages
generator. It should be ordered, and it is, however a few percentage of the
images (quite noticeable on the full list) is wrongly order such as
Ayutthaya_Elephant_Camp.JPG before Ayun_Halliday_by_David_Shankbone.jpg or
Basketball_29082008666_(6).jpg followed by Basiliscus_vittatus-2.jpg
The fault could be on three places: my program, the API or the slave.
My program doesn't do any reaordering, the list is dumped in the same order as
received from the connection. It can produce unordered lists if it is run,
stopped and run again from a previous point. But it doesn't explain jumps as
going from Auto_Racing_Yellow.svg to Image* (ImageAKMap-doton-Amukta.png,
ImageAerienneRafRaf.JPG, ImageAlumbrados_del_Rio-2007_Medellin.jpg,
ImageBrute.jpg, ImageBunnygirl_Cosplay2.jpg, ImageCBCdecryptie.jpg,
ImageCBCencryptie.jpg, ImageCFBencryptie.jpg, ImageCapendu.PNG) and back to
Auto_Racing_Yellow_Chevron.svg (continuing in alphabetical order).
As the list is built from many API queries, there can be many servers serving
it, and multiple race conditions. However, it happens to images uploaded many
months ago, if not years. So it's not a lagged slave nor a new image uploaded
between. And I don't know on any locale which would do such misorderings.
I can provide the app/files, but they're huge, and not too useful.
