Change Details

Hello, I send out the Wikimedia Highlights blog post every month. This month I ran into a strange error. Specifically - I previewed my notification on Special:NotifyTranslators. Everything was okay so I clicked send. After a few seconds I got this message (below): //Database Error: To avoid creating high replication lag, this transaction was aborted because the write duration (6.9671151638031) exceeded the 6 seconds limit. If you are changing many items at once, try doing multiple smaller operations instead.// **However**, the notification tool sent out an email shortly after the error message appeared. There is no log entry for this - https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=notifytranslators&user=&page=&year=&month=-1&tagfilter= Any questions feel free to ask. Best, Andrew Sherman
