The underlying error is coming from geoshapes: "SPARQL query result contains non-unique ID \"Q759\""

The wikidata query can be seen here. The problem seem to be that New Hampshire has 2 heads of government for different periods but the query doesn't consider that.

It would be interesting to fix the query (because it's an interesting map) but I think this ticket should be about error handling. Here are some options for dealing with such cases:

1. Display nothing (current situation)
2. Display the base map but omit the overlay that fails
3. Ignore duplicate IDs in geoshapes, log a warning

The map at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Extension:Kartographer#GeoShapes_via_Wikidata_Query is fixed because the data in wikidata was changed to have the current head of gov to have the "preferred" rank.

@Naveenpf, can we close this ticket?

Awesome, thanks @SBisson for figuring out. At first I thought it was something much more substantial as it coincided with various deployments.

The map in this link is failing now.

As a start, you could use the developer tools of your web browser. I went to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_National_Highways_in_India_by_highway_number?debug=true , clicked "Map", and after trying to zoom in, I got an error in the Console:

Error

The wikidata query seem to be ok but it returns a lot of results. It times out in pg trying to fetch the data for the geolines.

We see an increased number of timeouts in the log and it's something we want to look at but in the meantime, you can try limiting the number of results to see if it helps.

Two months back 200 NHs where is easily displaying via maplink .
Now only 50 are getting displayed.

We discussed this with @Pnorman and our conclusions were:

• We need better error messages for this case. "Invalid GeoJSON" is not what really happened if we had a timeout looking up the shapes.
• Paul suggested looking at the GeoJSON that this lookup tries to generate. 200+ highways might correspond to megabytes of GeoJSON. That can be OK for static map generation, but won't be OK for in-browser dynamic maps where all that data needs to be downloaded to and rendered by the client
• Paul also said that once the schema change associated with the new style (T153282: [epic] Migrate to a new vector tile structure) is done, Wikidata-based queries will be faster

Now 200 NHs are displaying. Analysis of this defect was wrong.
Issue was with qid mapping.

Not all NHs are displayed yet.
It is getting blocked at 206 national highways.
