Public summary and mobile-sections endpoints return old description for a specific page
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

https://es.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/page/summary/Manuel_Belgrano

The underlying Wikidata item was vandalized and then the vandalism reverted on June 11. The public summary endpoint for eswiki still shows the bad description, "pornstar argento".

Prod MCS returns the correct description (verified on scb1001).

The public endpoint returns the bad description even after a Varnish purge.

Therefore it seems like we're stuck with a bad summary stored in RESTBase and not updated after the reversion.

This shows up in the Android app but interestingly not the iOS app (maybe it still gets descriptions from mobileview).

@Pchelolo According to https://github.com/wikimedia/change-propagation/blob/master/config.example.wikimedia.yaml#L548-L566 it looks like both summary and mobile-sections should be updated when the description changes. Is it not currently working?

@Mholloway ran [[ https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manuel_Belgrano?action=purge | ?action=purge ]] on the page, which updated the output for summary and mobile-sections for this page. If you still see the old values in the browser hit shift-refresh.

Ok, so the problem is that in order to minimize the load we try (in a very hacky way) to only rerender summary/mobile content if the description of the item changes. We check the edit comment to estimate that: https://github.com/wikimedia/change-propagation/blob/master/config.example.wikimedia.yaml#L530 The comment for the revert wasn't in the list of possible comments we react on.

This should fix it: https://github.com/wikimedia/change-propagation/pull/275
