Extension:SyntaxHighlight_GeSHi reports for pages with syntax highlighting errors are bogus
Closed, InvalidPublic

Description

https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Pages_with_syntax_highlighting_errors lists the pages:

as containing syntax highlighting errors and suggests remedies like adding lang="bash" or lang="shell-session". However, looking at the source of those pages, lang is always set to bash, python, shell-session, sql, or yaml, and these seem to be valid languages according to https://github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki-extensions-SyntaxHighlight_GeSHi/blob/master/SyntaxHighlight_GeSHi.lexers.php. I null-edited the last page to see if it was some caching problem to no avail.

So it could be:

  1. Something subtle is wrong on those pages;
  2. there is a problem with Extension:SyntaxHighlight_GeSHi on wikitech; or
  3. there is a problem with the maintenance category updates on wikitech (does that work by job queue?).

I suspect option #3 and file a subtask for that.

Some false positives have disappeared from the list, and https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&meta=siteinfo&siprop=statistics still lists > 8000 jobs in the queue. When the job queue is closer to zero, this task can be reevaluated if it has been resolved.

I null-edited the remaining pages which left four in the category and fixed those (including https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Analytics/AQS where I didn't spot the error when I filed this task). Now the category is empty, so this was indeed an artifact of T153618.

Thanks for following up on it @scfc!
