I'm currently working on the rowiki labels campaign and I've encountered a number of revision not found errors:
{
"code": "revision not found",
"message": "Nu s-au putut obține metadatele pentru revizia 10501894"
}These should be identified and skipped automatically or manually (e.g. the user clicks a "Skip" button), as currently any kind of response seems inappropriate.
See also T161104 for a similar issue with hidden revisions.
Merging in T161104 here since they are essentially the same problem from a labeling perspective. I like the title of this task because "revisions that cannot be retrieved" covers all the reasons (page deletion, revision suppression, etc.).
Copying in a message from T161104:
Hi @Strainu. Currently, we don't do a good job of reporting to the user when a revision has been deleted/suppressed. We can certainly improve that. Skipping will be hard because the user loading the revision for review will be the first point at which we discover that the revision can't be shown. Maybe the message that states the revision has been deleted/suppressed should have a "skip" button as part of it.
https://github.com/wiki-ai/wikilabels/pull/176 This would help a little but I can't say "It will solve the issue".
I've merged this change, but I think we should keep this task open and continue to discuss better solutions. Let's let T138563: Improve error message for suppressed changes shown in WikiLabels be the relevant task for this change.
