Who Wrote That? extension
editHello MusikAnimal!
Maybe you can help me. I am having issues with the Who Wrote That? browser extension. It hasn't been working for me for a number of days. I've asked on the WP:DISCORD and others report issues with using scripts, too. Renerpho (talk) 16:36, 7 July 2024 (UTC)
- @Renerpho I'm going to need more information. I just did a quick test and everything seemed fine to me. Are there particular articles where WWT isn't working? Please provide links, as well as a description of exactly what is not working for you (i.e. what happens when you click on "Who Wrote That?"). Thanks! — MusikAnimal talk 17:57, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
- @MusikAnimal: Thank you. I just checked and it's working fine now. Earlier, no matter what article I tried it on, it would give an error message, asking me to try again later. This lasted for about a week, but I guess it's resolved now. Renerpho (talk) 23:42, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
- I did discover the service that processes new revisions was in fact down. So when it wasn't working for you, you probably were checking articles that had new revisions, while the ones that did work were already processed by mw:WikiWho. Anyway I've got the service running again and added measures to prevent this from happening again. There are about 2 weeks worth of revisions that WikiWho missed, so it will take at least several days to fully catch up. In the meantime, you may see errors for some articles, but everything should be back to normal soon enough. — MusikAnimal talk 18:43, 10 July 2024 (UTC)
