I can't revert or upload any files, I just get "The file "mwstore://local-multiwrite/local-public/4/4e/Interieur_-_'s-Gravenhage_-_20089866_-_RCE.jpg" is in an inconsistent state within the internal storage backends"

Both T350793#10378435 and today T350793#10394688 happened and caused realtime debugging. This seems to be at odds with the claim that nobody uses it anyways.

No, don't. SPARQL endpoints should be authenticated, especially the SPARQL endpoints by Wikimedia. T297995 should be resolved. This proposal is just a very bad work around to replace an even worse work around (https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:SPARQL_query_service/API_endpoint)

Multichill updated subscribers of T376979: Figure out the future of Wikimedia Commons Query Service (WCQS).

Just remove the damn authentication. T297995 has been open for three years. You have been running a quite stable, but also quite useless service for the past three years. It's extremely demotivating that I and other volunteers spend time on importing and adding structured data, but I can't properly query it. It's the primary reason why I haven't really added a lot of new things over the last years.

With implementation of T359761 / T366623 and replacement of {{dir}} and {{bcp47}} templates with brand new parser functions, we should loose some more templatelinks (124M +5M to be precise). I also replaced many calls to {{Autotranslate}} templates in template namespace with the Lua calls directly to c:Module:Autotranslate which might reduce it even further.

We should probably handle the 500 error as a recoverable error (just like the socket time out) and retry.

Maybe the WDQS maintainers will disagree, but to me, automatically retrying a query that timed out and already consumed a significant amount of resources in doing so doesn’t sound like a good idea.

Multichill added a comment to T343131: Commons database is growing way too fast.

About links from commons to commons: I think a lot of them come from c:Category:Language_link_templates (aka /lang templates) which are used by some old templates. For example Template:PD-US-no_notice/lang is transcluded by Template:PD-US-no_notice which is then transcluded to all the files using that template. /Lang templates are automatically generated or updated by template:LLE which uses external links to subpages instead of internal links, in order to help with some database table exploding in 2009. See discussion. A lot of transclusions of /lang templates in license templates was removed in 2013, because they were causing other issues, but not all of them.

Maybe we should retire those templates (I never found them useful) or change template:LLE back to create templates using internal links at the danger of blowing up some other table (template link table?).

Also in the 2009 discussion on the subject @Multichill mentioned that LLE uses external links because "Externallinks was hacked to not be included in a table if it points to the same site". If external links to Commons are stored now, than maybe we should re implement this old hack.

I was thinking of something that a template/module can add to a page automatically, but SDC probably also works for some use cases, that’s true.

Is WCQS operational? Can you do the queries like this now if people migrate data to SDC? If not, do you have an ETA for when that'd go online?

Multichill added a comment to T340495: Incorrect normalization of pywikibot.WbTime.

This is a bug. This causes bots to butcher up dates. Say for example a painting is sourced to be made between 1190 and 1210. The year will be set to 1200 with a precision of a millennium with earliest date 1190 and latest date 1210. The 1200 is used for sorting and other cases where things are just grouped together. This would be changed to 2000 with the current logic. This is not in line with https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Help:Dates .
