Unrecognised value for parameter "sites": smnwiki

Something missing on mw api side?

Looks like userinfo call does not work

I tested the userinfo call, and it works as expected, so I think it's a PWB bug.

Might be on Wikidata end.

Leloiandudu subscribed.Oct 21 2020, 10:26 AM

I experience the same error intermittently with my bot. To test this I wrote code that sends the same query in a loop and sometimes it gets the correct reply from the server while sometimes this happens:

{
  "batchcomplete": "",
  "warnings": {
    "query": {
      "*": "Unrecognized value for parameter \"meta\": userinfo"
    }
  }
}

This is the request I'm sending repeatedly (as POST body) to https://ru.wikipedia.org/w/api.php:
meta=userinfo&action=query&continue=&format=json

I get this warning as well when running redirect.py:

python3 pwb.py redirect broken -delete -fullscan -lang:ar -family:wiktionary

Output is:

......WARNING: API warning (query): Unrecognized value for parameter "meta": userinfo
WARNING: API warning (main): Unrecognized parameter: uiprop.

Also CI Tests Fails sometimes

Urbanecm added a project: Wikidata.Oct 21 2020, 10:08 PM

Which may indicate PWB bug just as this does. Adding Wikidata item just to be sure.

Leloiandudu added a comment.Oct 21 2020, 11:15 PM

This definitely has nothing to do with PWB. I get this error by just running the bare query like I said above

This is a temporay wrong response on MW side I guess. There is a similar case in T242083 where insufficient response is retrieved mostly influenced due to wikidata overload. The last CI build passed now but the described behaviour may be come again I fear.

Maybe it's because T264963: Add Wikidata support for smnwiki was resolved?

Probably yes but it looks very strange to get such an invalid response. See Meno25's note above; don’t see a wikidata call there.

Just thought I should report this, I tried the same command today and the warning disappeared:

python3 pwb.py redirect broken -delete -fullscan -lang:ar -family:wiktionary

Boldly closing as invalid. interwikidata.py not working when the wiki is not yet connected to wikidata seems kind of expected. Feel free to reopen if someone still encouters this.
