Linter reports not updating and count issue
[edit]There's an issue with the Linter reports today. I noticed that they were counting high yesterday, and today they timeout (600 sec) when manually updated. They were all counting high, and I checked a few of the top pages and compared the counts to their page information lint counts, and they varied wildly, typically 21 or so higher than the actual. I know for a fact that we have the article space errors down to 2 errors max per article (barring any daily flareup), and all 1000 entries displaying were all claiming 21+, which is thankfully not true. Do you know why they were counting high? I'm not aware of a new error type, but realize that is a possible answer.
I see there's now a lag on server 1, but there wasn't any this morning when the issue was occurring, so not sure if they are connected or not. The owner of the bot used to do the updating, SD0001 is not the person to contact. Contacting you since you set these reports up to be done by their bot. If you aren't the person to contact, who should I contact, or shall I just do a public post on WP:LINT's talk page? And do you know what's up with the count being off and the report updating timing out (assuming the server 1 lag is unrelated)? Thanks, Zinnober9 (talk) 20:46, 14 June 2024 (UTC)
- Not sure why this is case. Probably best create a post at WT:LINT, someone should be able to debug it and anyone can change/fix the query. Galobtter (talk) 20:51, 14 June 2024 (UTC)
- Ok, thanks. Hope you have a great weekend! Zinnober9 (talk) 21:32, 14 June 2024 (UTC)
- This appears to be a toolforge (partial?) outage problem. The reports will presumably fix themselves when toolforge comes back 100%. – Jonesey95 (talk) 17:45, 15 June 2024 (UTC)
- Ok, thanks. Hope you have a great weekend! Zinnober9 (talk) 21:32, 14 June 2024 (UTC)
