@Jdforrester-WMF why is this HotCat's fault? From the description above, it sounds like the value of wgCurRevisionId being returned is incorrect. Surely a tool like HotCat should be able to rely on that being set properly, no?

RoySmith updated subscribers of T348762: IABot sometimes corrupts data due to an undetected edit conflict.

@Harej, I disagree with prioritizing this as "medium". This involves silent data loss. That should never be a medium priority. It also sounds like the fix has already been identified (use baserevid instead of basetimestamp) and that fix is probably trivial to implement. So why toss it on the medium heap, which basically means it'll never get fixed?

@Snaevar I'm reopening this. If after some discussion by all the interested parties it is decided not to implement this feature, that's one thing. I know you disagree with my assessment, and I welcome your input, but I don't think it was appropriate for you to unilaterally close the ticket without discussion.

RoySmith added a comment to T323948: Blocking all non-confirmed users on an IP or IP range (aka range block against sleeper accounts).

Just wondering if anything is happening to this? I'm working another LTA case right now. We list over 400 confirmed socks spanning 2 years. I suspect there's many more that we either haven't found or haven't bothered to tag. This particular LTA has a pattern of creating a new account on some random IPv4 address then switching to a v6 mobile network for editing. If we could block the v6 /36 only for anon or unconfirmed users that would put a big dent in their operation, or at least make it more work for them to roll out new socks. Such a block would have almost no collateral effect. I don't want to fully block the /36 because it would have way too much collateral damage.

OK, I mostly understand what's happening here. My user-config.py defines oauth credentials for {en,test}.wikipedia.org, and those credentials were created to only be valid on those specific projects. test_create_short_link() forces a login to meta, and that's one of the ways this fails.

This reminds me of T326996.

The particular thing I wanted to do today is move a python wheel file which I had built on my local dev machine and wanted to install on toolforge. Checking the wheel into git would make no sense. The way I currently install my app is indeed to push the source to git and pull that down into toolforge, but I'm exploring if doing wheel installs would be simpler.

I'll add one more comment. Sometimes I've copied what I need over to /tmp because it's world writeable and worked with it there. From any rational security analysis, that's the wrong thing to do, but sometimes you need to get something done and you find a way to do it. If you make it easy for people to do the right thing, they'll do it. If you make it difficult for people to do the right thing, they'll do the wrong thing if that's what lets them get their work done.

Just noting that I've run into exactly this same issue (see this thread). So I'll add my voice to supporting getting this implemented.

I haven't seen it again after I reported the original incident. But I'll let you know if I see it again.

FWIW, I described another way to reproduce this on enwiki vpt

Interesting. Yes, I'm seeing javascript errors on page loads (even before I try to edit anything). It's not entirely reproducible, but they're all variations on:

I can even replicate it on my desktop, using Chrome's mobile device emulation. For example, looking at https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:RoySmith/sandbox&oldid=1138008943&useskin=vector2022, emulating a Galaxy Fold at 280 x 653 pixels. This one is using my normal (User:RoySmith) account, MacOS 12.6.1 Chrome Version 109.0.5414.119 (Official Build) (x86_64)

On the phone, it's my mobile account, which is totally generic. I see the same issue logged out in an incognito window.

With the explicit useskin=vector URL, the high-order digits overflow onto the grey left-side navbar, but they're visible on both the 6a and the X4.

Both of my examples are using Chrome.

On my Moto X4 running Android 9, there's enough room for 3 digits, so this appears to be browser or device specific.
