Summary: Make global extension more resilient to error
situations
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: any
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: trivial
Priority: Normal
Component: GlobalUsage
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
As witnessed today, when the Commons database goes down, this leads to db
errors after edits on many pages on unrelated databases.
This is possibly caused by GlobalUsage::onLinksUpdateComplete hook. This
retrieves the GlobalUsage db on every linksupdate, even if there are no images
at all on the page in question apparently.
I'm suggestion we check the size of missingFiles.
There are wider consequences however. Possibly we would want to create a system
where jobs like this are postponed if the global database is not available ? (a
refreshLinks job ?)
