[17:10:53] <ragesoss>	 since yesterday, Wiki Education has been seeing a wave of intermittent errors related to OAuth login and token-fetching. any pointers to what might be going on?
[17:13:36] <ragesoss>	 oh! it's 429 error
[17:13:49] <ragesoss>	 that's annoying, having seen that before with login and OAuth tokens
[17:13:58] <taavi>	 ragesoss: what does the HTTP response body say?
[17:14:47] <ragesoss>	 Request served via cp4044 cp4044, Varnish XID 735497657<br>Upstream caches: cp4044 int<br>Error: 429, Too many requests (f061ab2) at Thu, 08 Jan 2026 17:11:08 GMT<br><details><summary>Sensitive client information</summary>IP address: 2600:[ip]</details>
[17:25:16] <ragesoss>	 i've created an issue: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T414114
[23:31:53] <Dragonfly6-7>	 I accidentally deleted an article with +1200 edits (I meant to only delete a single one), and when I try to restore it, I keep getting an error message.
[23:31:59] <Dragonfly6-7>	 To avoid creating high replication lag, this transaction was aborted because the write duration (3.2673449516296) exceeded the 3 second limit. If you are changing many items at once, try doing multiple smaller operations instead.
[23:31:59] <Dragonfly6-7>	 [7cff12f6-3c48-4794-a63a-76d06ef36647] 2026-01-08 23:30:20: Fatal exception of type "Wikimedia\Rdbms\DBTransactionSizeError"
[23:32:01] <Dragonfly6-7>	 help help?
[23:36:11] <andre>	 what's the question? "try doing multiple smaller operations instead"
[23:38:45] <Dragonfly6-7>	 so is that "restore 100 diffs at a time" ?
[23:39:04] <Dragonfly6-7>	 or...
[23:39:16] <Dragonfly6-7>	 I'm not trying to change them
[23:39:54] <A_smart_kitten>	 seems like that might be T239095
[23:39:55] <stashbot>	 T239095: Undeleting pages with many revision results in DB exceptions - https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T239095
[23:40:09] <zabe>	 yeah undeletion still is not happening in batches iirc
[23:40:48] <zabe>	 so you have to do the batching manually 
[23:41:11] <Dragonfly6-7>	 .... so, yes, select 20 revisions at a time and restore them?
[23:41:37] <A_smart_kitten>	 disclaimer that i'm not an admin on a wiki... but i think you might be able to try with a higher number than that (hopefully)
[23:42:12] <A_smart_kitten>	 maybe 500 revisions at a time might work? bit of a guess though... 
[23:42:12] <zabe>	 yeah, you could probably do like 200 or 300 or something in that area I would say
[23:42:18] <A_smart_kitten>	 (i defer to zabe)
[23:43:25] <Dragonfly6-7>	 any solution more efficient than clicking +1200 boxes by hand?
[23:43:44] <zabe>	 You can try higher, you cannot really do anything wrong here, it would just end in another timeout if you try too many
[23:44:15] <zabe>	 I would bet someone wrote a userscript for this issue
[23:45:05] <Dragonfly6-7>	 you wouldn't have any idea what that script is or where to find it, would you
[23:47:03] <Reedy>	 Can't you click, press shift, click and do a range?
[23:48:25] <Dragonfly6-7>	 Thank you.
[23:49:21] <zabe>	 TIL
[23:59:01] <Dragonfly6-7>	 if the error message had said "If you are restoring many diffs at once, try etc", I would have known what to do.
