Impact

The community planned to hold a local election, but during early testing, it was discovered that the translation feature was not working.
This meant that voting could not proceed due to incomplete interface text.

Notes

I got the same error message when creating a poll, but after refreshing the page, the poll magically appeared in the Special:SecurePoll list. But in this case, refreshing page doesn't really help.

Steps to reproduce:

Go to Special:SecurePoll
Choose 翻译 (Translate)
Choose zh-cn
Enter translated strings
Click 更新 (Update)

@Novem_Linguae Could you please take a look at this? It seems there’s an issue when saving JSON configs under Mediawiki:SecurePoll/*, nothing appears to be saved.

This is because of T399633. The AUTO_INCREMENT value needs to be manually set.

@Zabe Can you help with fixing the auto increment for the zhwiki.content_models table?

Aklapper renamed this task from SecurePoll MediaWiki\Storage\NameTableAccessException Error on zhwiki to MediaWiki\Storage\NameTableAccessException: No insert possible but primary DB didn't give us a record for 'SecurePoll' in 'content_models'.Aug 12 2025, 9:08 AM

Aklapper closed this task as a duplicate of T399372: enwiki: MediaWiki\Storage\NameTableAccessException: No insert possible but primary DB didn't give us a record for 'SecurePoll' in 'content_models'.

Or maybe I shouldn't have marked this as a dup per last comments? Hmm.

Mentioned in SAL (#wikimedia-operations) [2025-08-12T09:17:36Z] <zabe> manually insert 'SecurePoll' into zhwiki.content_models # T401641

Yeah, probably best to keep this as a separate ticket. Individual wikis will need these fixed to unbreak SecurePoll faster than we can mass fix every instance of this. I think putting the mass cleanup ticket as the parent ticket is probably best. I'll go ahead and do that now.

@Stang It looks like Zabe fixed the database. Can you confirm that this bug is no longer reproducible? If so feel free to close this ticket.

@Novem_Linguae This one is fixed. Thanks!
