Constraint talk page template display is broken on translated help pages

Hello!

Quite unsure about what’s happening, but on property constraints help pages, like Help:Property constraints portal/Item, there is a template section which contains the invocation for Constraints|extractIndividualConstraintTemplate in order to display the talk page box of the constraint.

This invocation breaks on translated pages, see for instance Help:Property_constraints_portal/Item/nl, with error: "Module:Constraints/search:24: attempt to index a nil value". Could it be that some internationalization part is broken in Module:Constraints?

Best regards, Nivopol (talk) 09:18, 12 August 2024 (UTC)

I've edited Module:Constraints/search (Special:Diff/2229633868). That's made the error go away, but I don't really understand how it works, so hopefully I didn't break something else. - Nikki (talk) 13:31, 17 August 2024 (UTC)

Frequently being logged out

Tracked in Phabricator
Task T372702

Lately I keep being logged out despite selecting the "remember me" option when logging in. On one computer, I was suddenly logged out on the 11th, then again on the 15th and again today (17th). On another computer, I was suddenly logged out yesterday (16th). - Nikki (talk) 10:59, 17 August 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for reporting @Nikki, having the same issue on my primary phone. Couldn't remember the first two but then on 15th and most recently today (17th). I also selected the remeber me option while logging in. KuldeepBurjBhalaike ^(Talk) 12:07, 17 August 2024 (UTC)

logged out again :( KuldeepBurjBhalaike ^(Talk) 12:16, 17 August 2024 (UTC)

I've opened phab:T372702. This is something someone at the WMF needs to have a look at I fear. Lydia Pintscher (WMDE) (talk) 12:39, 17 August 2024 (UTC)

Wrong Interwiki

The article gemstone has a wrong interwiki on pl.wp. It is now kamień szlachetny [1] , but it should be kamienie jubilerskie [2]. Can somebody fix it please? Thanks. Dzidzianna (talk) 10:27, 18 August 2024 (UTC)

The problem has already been solved. Thank you. Dzidzianna (talk) 13:43, 20 August 2024 (UTC)

Desalinization Plant - Planta desalinizadora

hi,

the Spanish description of "Planta desalinizadora" is "... potabilizar ...". That is not 100% correct. Some plants don't produce "agua potable" but "agua de uso industrial".

I don't want to change the description before we agree or better other user that has a more sinoptical view of the situation. Best regards, Juan Villalobos (talk) 09:32, 20 August 2024 (UTC)

Also, remember to include the Item so others can easily follow the conversation. -Mohammed Abdulai (WMDE) (talk) 08:52, 26 August 2024 (UTC)

Issues with adding statements to a new property

I created the property denomination (P12949) (proposal) at 10:46 and I've only successfully been able to add 2 statements to it so far, receiving frequent 500 errors and timeouts when attempting editing. I appear to be able to edit other properties and items with no problem.

If you report this error to the Wikimedia System Administrators, please include the details below.

It seems the problem has disappeared somehow, as it is visitable now. ScienceD90 (talk) 19:38, 23 August 2024 (UTC)

It's happened several times with me, and all the times when I added one "Wikidata property example"! It takes 3-8 hours to back in normal, therefore we must find the root cause. Regards, ZI Jony ^(Talk) 21:42, 24 August 2024 (UTC)

Arabic numbers

Hello everyone, I would like to know where the problem of Arabic numbers lies in Wikidata? Because when converting to Arabic, the numbers change to Indian numbers and this I do not find it with the Egyptian language! Mohammed Qays (talk) 14:52, 23 August 2024 (UTC)
