Database error while moving over redirect: Transaction exceeding the limit of 3 seconds (via Special:MovePage)
Open, Needs TriagePublicPRODUCTION ERROR

Description

Second similar error today. This is also the first time I've seen this error.

To avoid creating high replication lag, this transaction was aborted because the write duration (3.068653345108) exceeded the 3 second limit. If you are changing many items at once, try doing multiple smaller operations instead.

I've had a number of failed moves in the last few weeks - should they be reported each time?

DBTransactionSizeError is a type of error, much like "class not found", "HTTP 404" or "out of memory". This task specifically is about transaction errors from Special:MovePage as result of (presumed) slow insertion of redirects.

Logstash query for mediawiki-warnings:
message:DBTransactionSizeError AND url:*MovePage*

This yields 2 in the last 30 days.

Other outstanding production errors that are from MovePage and may be related to timeouts and lock contention:
