IP range contributions list is incomplete
Closed, DuplicatePublic

Description

Since the implementation of T163562 it is possible to fetch the contributions from an IP range. However, the list seems to be incomplete.

Take for example https://fa.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/197.38.249.28/16?uselang=en

Currently it shows only four edits by two distinct IP addresses (=197.38.159.33 and 197.38.249.28) but this is incomplete; edits by 197.38.242.55 are not displayed, for instance. In fact if you enable the Contributions Range gadget on that wiki, you will find 7 distinct IP addresses in that range that have made contributions in the past. Screenshot below.

Event Timeline

MusikAnimal, I think https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/370946/ should have been accompanied by another patch that introduced an update script that would go through the revision table and retrospectively populate ip_changes for past edits. Was it?

Huh. There was one it is just that it has not been run for most other wikis.

Correct, the script hasn't been ran for any of the group 2 wikis yet. We're working on some performance improvements that I hope will get merged and deployed tomorrow. From there it's probably still a bit of a wait for you since it goes alphabetically, and enwiki comes before fawiki =P

No problem. It was just a bit difficult to track all that in Phabricator, so I submitted the task, then found out the reason and then closed it as duplicate. I wish we had a specific tag for this feature in Phab.
