Description Jérémie Roquet 2013-02-05 15:02:21 UTC
Hi everyone,

I (User:Arkanosis) haven't had any problem to edit Wikidata until now, but User:Ludo29 can't edit anything. What is funny (well… sort of), is that I'm now unable to edit any item he's failed to edit before, even if I've edited these items in the near past. I'm still able to edit any item he hasn't tried to edit yet.

The items he's tried to edit so far and that we can't edit anymore are: Q115540, Q2871475, Q3466531. He's also tried to edit Q115442 without being logged in with no more success.

I've tried to delete and restore Q115540 to see if it improves things, but while I'm able to do it, it doesn't change anything for later edition.

The only additional information I have is that XHRs for edition all fail with the following response header: MediaWiki-API-Error: session-failure.

I'd be glad to do more tests if it can help, but I don't see what to do with as little information.

Best regards,

This might be related to http://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Project_chat#Editing_2

Can't reproduce, and to little information that it is possible to deduce whats going on. My guess is that the user was logged out randomly and then got a session failure. When editing from the same page after a logout several of the variables set on the page will not be according to the users new session, and a session failure will be reported.
