[03:00:20] when I try to access one of my userspace subpages in Firefox, it doesn't load; when I try the same page in Chrome, I get "WMFTimeoutException" [03:00:39] could this be affecting any other pages? [03:01:18] Is one logged in, one logged out? [03:01:29] Yes. [03:01:44] presumably the logged out one works fine? [03:01:49] No. [03:01:52] Neither one works. [03:01:54] that's the issue. [03:02:04] Firefox is logged in, and produces: nothing [03:02:08] sorry, I read it as one worked and works fine [03:02:11] Chrome is not logged in, and produces: an error message. [03:02:12] nothing? a blank page? [03:02:12] okay. [03:02:31] no, I click the link and nothing happens [03:02:36] Do you have the exception code? Or a URL? [03:02:56] I should also say, I don't recall having created this userspace subpage, but it's in my index of userspace subpages [03:02:59] hold on [03:03:04] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:DragonflySixtyseven/Orphaned_images [03:03:09] chrome error: [03:03:11] [30fb512a-f265-49f3-b95f-55a3a3eb2572] 2020-11-07 02:59:10: Fatal exception of type "WMFTimeoutException" [03:03:46] and yeah, I tried opening it in a new tab in firefox, and it's just a blank page [03:04:08] I'm guessing it's going to be massive [03:04:52] Page length (in bytes) 1,272,159 [03:05:43] ~61K lines [03:05:50] Ugh. [03:05:51] so ~30K images [03:05:58] Not really a surprise it doesn't work :) [03:06:30] I don't recall having created that page. [03:06:36] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:DragonflySixtyseven/Orphaned_images?action=history [03:06:40] hm [03:06:44] Okay, I guess I did. [03:07:00] Why I had it done, I don't recall [03:07:04] Do you want it deleting? [03:07:05] but it's presumably for some maintenance reason [03:07:32] the "okay" edit summary is very helpful ;) [03:07:46] heh [03:08:09] can you tell if there's anything in there aside from 30K images? [03:08:20] https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:DragonflySixtyseven/Orphaned_images&action=edit [03:08:22] that works fine [03:08:25] oh good [03:08:31] it's ~30K images in a table [03:09:00] most of which are orphaned and probably need to be deleted, I assume [03:09:01] unless you have preview on by default, then it ain't happy [03:09:30] how do I turn that off [03:09:53] The timeout is basically from MW trying to work out if they all exist [03:10:03] understood, thank you [03:10:20] I'm guessing AntiComposite is meaning the preference "Show preview on the first edit" [03:10:25] yup [03:10:35] same problem as viewing the page directly [03:10:49] action=raw worked tho :) [03:11:22] action=rawr sounds like a good april fools/easter egg [03:11:34] mediawiki cowsay with a dinosaur... [03:12:25] https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:DragonflySixtyseven/Orphaned_images&action=raw ? [03:13:11] ugh [03:13:50] well, I've got it open (as text) [03:13:50] thank you for helping. [03:19:13] I'm wondering is there any limit, how many bytes can a single page contain? [03:19:23] All of them. [03:22:36] there's probably a few different limits, figuring out which one would apply is the hard part [03:23:54] A single page can contain, at most, all the bytes. [03:23:58] a big page of simple text could work fine, when a small page of complex templates and modules might not [03:25:08] But we use mediumblob for some stuff [03:25:11] however... MW has $wgMaxArticleSize [03:25:17] Which defaults to 2MB [03:25:30] there ya go [03:26:42] but medium blob can do 16MB [03:28:09] = 2000000 / 16000000 bytes (โ˜‰๏ฝกโ˜‰)! [03:31:03] ah, and the page has finally loaded properly [03:31:50] multiple attempts probably got enough stuff into cache... [03:34:34] and it's all still just filenames [03:34:56] Yeah, but it needs to do existence checks for them... to see if they're red or bluelink [03:35:42] * Hazard-SJ says hi ๐Ÿ‘€
