Back ache (talkcontribs)

Wikidata for web has slowed to the point of unusablity on both firefox and chrome and more worrying the results between tabs are bleeding-though. Is there anything we can do to help debug this? Back ache (talk) 08:09, 3 February 2024 (UTC)

Shisma (talkcontribs)

Since when do you observe this?

Back ache (talkcontribs)

it's still an ongoing issue, I'll have to see if a debugging proxy gives any clues to what is happening Back ache (talk)

Shisma (talkcontribs)

I asked when it started. That might help me to pinpoint what could cause the slowdown.

I'm currently working on a full relaunch but it will take some time.

Back ache (talkcontribs)

It's hard to say exactly, a few weeks ago roughly. I work in support and know that's a useless answer so want to get some hard facts, I have resisted so far as it's a little too much like the "day job"

When I looked at the start of February (by putting the browser into dev' mode) I could see the results of some queries coming back as webpages rather the JSON but trying to nail down a repeatable senario is hard but thats support for you :-)

Interesting. Which queries? Do the webpages say anything? Please send me urls and response bodies.

Back ache (talkcontribs)

Will do, the first interesting thing I have noticed is how the activity on one tab is affecting the other, it seems queries to wikidata query service api make use of the browser local "IndexedDB" presumably as some kind of cache that resulting in you getting old data Back ache (talk) 01:44, 26 February 2024 (UTC)

Yes, it is using the local storage. You can flush it by uninstalling and reinstalling again. A future version will use only session storage.

This is an example of it "getting weird" for a charity page I was looking at, it thinks I am the charity!

This was after me being busy with WfW (over a short amount of time) and it is almost like I have filled the cache up and so it goes crazy (like a "buffer-overrun")

Wikidata for Web misidentifying a website with the details of the wikidata user rather than the sites

The Wayback Machine Chrome extension allows you to archive websites without ever having to open them by using right click on URLs

Will the Wikidata extension ever have the same functionality?

Shisma (talkcontribs)

You mean you want to archive websites with the wikidata extension?

Trade (talkcontribs)

I want to be able to use the extension without having to open URLs

Shisma (talkcontribs)

I will look into it. Put personally I don't like it when webextensions clutter up context menus and I go by the philophy to only include features that I (or anyone actively maintaning the extsion, who is currently only me) would activly use on a regular basis.

Trade (talkcontribs)

I believe such a feature would cut a substantial amount of time spend per identifier

But perhaps i am just using the application wrong?

Trade (talkcontribs)

To rephrase the issue i feel like i spend way too much time, too much mouse movement and too many clicks per identifier and i'm interested in any way to speed up the process

Shisma (talkcontribs)

Sorry, let me get what exactly you propose.

I want to be able to use the extension without having to open URLs

I thought you want to right click any link on any website to see a context menu (Q734215) entry that says something like open in wikidata. clicking this option will open the associated item in the sidebar.

…too many clicks per identifier…

This makes me think you want to add identifiers via the context menu (Q734215).

Trade (talkcontribs)

Pretty much. Something like "Pair identifier with Wikidata Q code saved in clipboard"

Shisma (talkcontribs)

Something like "Pair identifier with Wikidata Q code saved in clipboard"

…and after you clicked this option, you don't want to review and click save after?

Trade (talkcontribs)

I never found that to be an issue
