Uploading failure after 380 files in Lingua Libre
Open, Needs TriagePublicBUG REPORT

Description

Hello,
The Lingua Libre Record Wizard is not able to upload recorded files. Yesterday, I face this issue and again today it is showing the same. After completing 380 files, it is not working. I have attached two screenshots of the issue.

Event Timeline

Hello @Ssgapu22 and thank your for this ticket. It is a known issue related to Wikimedia Commons' ratelimit for basic users (380 file uploads/72 minutes). The (individual) solution to this is to ask for autopatrolled rights on Wikimedia Commons (Requests for rights), mentionning you're a Lingua Libre contributor. It is usually a valid argument which allows you to not be limited anymore once the rights are granted.

Regarding Lingua Libre as a platform, the Record Wizard could probably check if the user has these user rights on Commons, and warn/prevent them to record and upload more than 380 words. Another solution would require a big refactoring of the Record Wizard and would be to keep the pending recordings on the server of Lingua Libre and upload them gradually on Commons (even if the user closes the window).

Thank you @WikiLucas00 for the reply. I would apply for autopatrolled rights on Wikimedia Commons.

Hi, can you please suggest me the process to enable this step?

I am unable to find this in Recording Wizard.

You cannot do this yourself. It is not currently supported by the Record Wizard. As Lucas said, this feature needs to be developed in the Record Wizard. If you want to contribute, you can propose a patch on Github :)

This feature would be really helpful. But, sorry, I am not that
knowledgeable to help with Github. I would appreciate it, if you guys could
add this feature into the Record Wizard.
