@Ladsgroup just FYI we made this commit to be used in emergencies in case the recent changes database gets overloaded and a quick fix is needed.
I'd suggest we turn off the "Language link added" changes.
Arguably, e.g. in enwiki, all of these "Language link added" do not affect what is on the rendering of the enwiki page. The meaning of these is 'the wikidata item linked to this enwiki page is now also linked to this other language wiki page'. I also think this isn't relevant to the en wiki page editor because often this would be in a language they don't understand.
Hi all,

@Addshore do you know of something else that needs to be updated here? Thanks!
Hi,
I'm having a similar error when trying to send an event locally.
I tried adding the setting of EVENTLOGGING_IMAGE=docker-registry.wikimedia.org/wikimedia/eventgate-wikimedia:ffd68c0de41e3395e2f8ba9422fbe8824c2a49ff (the latest from here) to .config/mwcli/mwdd/default as it is otherwise overwritten as an old image name in eventlogging.yml (it'd be good to update it in eventlogging.yml)

For now we are going with Option B from above.
I've added instructions for community members to translate the link to the documentation, here: https://github.com/jo-rooke/Wikidata-Databox_Module/pull/9

Summary of research and recommendations:

Consultation: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Translatable_modules
But this is about only "the translation of user interface messages used in modules, and only within a single wiki. This particularly pertains to Wikimedia sites that are already multilingual: Commons, Wikidata, Meta, mediawiki.org, Wikispecies, and others"
More documentation: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Translatable_modules/Current_solutions/en

Here's some documentation on the different approaches that are possible for dealing with translations within modules: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Multilingual_Templates_and_Modules

About tranlsations - checking with Dan: https://app.asana.com/1/1706384911089/project/1173667435412806/task/1211802377948672?focus=true
Tested the following changes on github to show that the examples get properly updated:
- Update the Databox/sandbox module to have the same code as our NEW version of the Databox module
- Update Template:Databox/doc, which is the documentation for the Databox module, to include new params in the examples (which use module Databox/sandbox) https://github.com/jo-rooke/Wikidata-Databox_Module/pull/8
- Update Template:Databox/sandbox https://github.com/jo-rooke/Wikidata-Databox_Module/pull/7
- It may be necessary to do null edits/purges of various files/templateset
Currently it appears in Template:Databox/doc. There is a translation issue, because in order for it to show there, the params also need to be updated in e.g. Template:Databox/doc/en and other languages - will check how these get propagated, since we can't edit them directly in the page.
Changed Databox/sandbox to be in line with the current version of the Databox:
Old state of the Examples using the old version of the module Databox/sandbox:

On wikipedia recent changes with bots filtered out and wikidata filtered in, edits from this bot appear, without the 'b' tag. This also shows as not bot in the wikipedia recentchanges database.
The bot is a member of the "Bots" user group https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/User:William_Avery_Bot
Changes include "Wikidata item has been linked to this page"
Following back to the wikidata side, it is also incorrectly tagged as not a bot there, with no 'b' tag
However, on wikipedia, some other changes on recent changes do come through correctly tagged as 'Dmb' even with "Wikidata item has been linked to this page":
It's not yet clear what causes edits in to not come through as 'b' in this case

@tappof - could you please let us know more about what action is needed for this ticket - is this going to be done by the SRE team (e.g. container scaling) or is it more that the Wikidata Query Service code would need changes?

@Lydia_Pintscher - would having a 'qualifier or reference' usage type work here, or is it better to track them separately?
