Bug #: 41387
Summary: api returns wrong langlinks
Product: Wikimedia
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: critical
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: General/Unknown
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
Blocks: 40000
Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
My bot is changing langlinks based on api (prop=langlinks) results. But this
response is sometimes wrong because it returns langlinks not contained in
source.
Now nlwiki threaten me to remove my bot flag/block my bot because of repeated
wrong edits. In this last case my bot trusted the response from enwiki api
which was wrong.
I think api uses the langlink table. So please update this table globally for
all sites. I think its enough to update only sites not updated after mw 1.19
which included the last major related change and all wrong pages i know had
older last revisions. Maybe there was something wrong in the past and must be
cleared. After new edits the response is correct.
Bots will also transfer these wrong langlinks to wikidata. The maintenance
script should be finished before wikidata goes live.
