Bug ID: 51163
Summary: Job queue on English Wikipedia is "empty", but also
seems not to be running
Product: MediaWiki
Version: 1.22-git
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: major
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: JobQueue
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
CC: [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
The job queue on English Wikipedia is reported as having zero jobs (presume
this means "empty") at
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&meta=siteinfo&siprop=statistics
and has done so since 22:22, 3 July 2013 - see
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:VPT#Category:Musical_theatre_articles_missing_an_image_in_infobox
However, template edits occur sufficiently frequently - see
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?namespace=10&tagfilter=&title=Special%3ARecentChanges
- that the job queue should rarely be empty.
Yesterday, I made an edit
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:BS-overlap&diff=prev&oldid=563708442
which should have placed over 10000 pages into the job queue - but it did not.
My edit should have caused certain pages (such as
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Isle_of_Wight_Central_Railway and
anything which transcludes that) to appear in
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:RDTs_with_overlaps_but_no_base_icon but
they have only been appearing there when a transcluding page was edited for
some other reason (for example,
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Isle_of_Wight_Central_Railway&diff=563742718&oldid=537800308
I can only conclude that the job queue, if it is running, is very full; and
that the size is so large (integer overflow?) that the API cannot cope and so
reports zero.
