- Batch jobs. For example, there is an issue with the sourcemd tool at the moment. Essentially, it checks for a large number of scientific publications if they exist on Wikidata or not. If not, it creates them. Now, if people have accidentally listed the same paper twice, or if two different batch jobs check/create the same paper, then the first create is sometimes "invisible" due to SPARQL lag, and a duplicate item is created. This has apparently happened a lot in the last few days.
Interesting. I'm probably lacking context, so apologies if I'm completely wrong here.
It sounds very much like an asynchronous process (WDQS updates) is used as part of an operation that should be transactional (creating an item if it does not exist). Even if we somewhat improve the lag, it still seems like the wrong tool for the job. Sadly, I don't have a proposable for a better tool for that job.
