"Add links" under "Languages" for newly created pages only shows "An unknown error occured"
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Link "add links" on "Languages" section is not working on new pages, it returns the message "An unkonwn error occured". It has been reported supposedly after deployment of version 1.31.0-wmf.8 (https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_1.31/Roadmap).

Checked on group 1 wikis ca.wiki, he.wiki, ca.wiktionary, en.wiktionary with any page of Special:NewPages. On Wiktionaries only with category namespace. On commons this happens to all categories not yet linked to any wikidata items.

Other wikis not included in group 1 are working fine.

Hi @Vriullop, thanks for taking the time to report this! Confirming for these steps:

Aklapper renamed this task from Add links for new pages is not working to "Add links" under "Languages" for newly created pages not working: "An unknown error occured".Nov 16 2017, 5:42 PM
Aklapper added a project: Wikidata.

That's because https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Special:NewItem?site=cawiki&page=Característica+d'albedo shows "Database locked"

That started half an hour ago, after this was reported.

For the underlying issue (Wikidata DB and other DBs like dewiki being locked) which triggered this "unknown error", please refer to T180714: s5 primary master db1063 crashed (and potentially T180724: mw2251 hardware error) instead.

The same issue happens as well on Commons. I went on https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:1_Princes_Dock clicked there on the left hand menu under In Wikipedida on 'Add links' and get the error message "An unknown error"occurred".

This happens according to my findings to any category page on Commons which is not yet linked to wikidata.

So i will change the description as to include commons.wikimedia in the wikis this issue happens.

Robby claimed this task.

By now this issue is solved (at least from what I noticed) Aadding links to other languages is again working at least from both Commons and en.wikipedia.

I tested with https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benthesicymidae as ell as on commons with https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:2011_Pro_Bowl

Many thanks to all those involved in the solution of this issue.
