Using action=wbcreateclaim with the api can give a api error about constraint violation for a description in a language. code=save-failed, info=* A length constraint is triggered for language code "*". * There is {{PLURAL:1|a constraint|constraints}} violation for {{PLURAL:1|description|descriptions}} "..." for {{PLURAL:1|language code|language codes}} "*". message=wikibase-error-constraint-violation-description That is a unrelated constraint when adding a new claim for a item and should not be trigged. Adding the claim works when using the GUI. Thanks.
This also happens for action=wbsetlabel, here's an example: (should be reproducible unless someone manually fixes the constraint violation for Q51606) Request: { 'language': 'nb', 'value': 'Approksimanter', 'action': 'wbsetlabel', 'id': 'Q51606', ... } Response: { 'error': { 'messages': { '0': { 'type': 'error', 'name': 'wikibase-error-constraint-violation-description', 'parameters': [1, 'id', 'Aproksiman adalah bunyi fonet...'] }, 'html': { '*': '<ul><li> A length constraint is triggered for language code "id".\n</li><li> There is a constraint violation for description "Apro ksiman adalah bunyi fonet..." for language code "id".\n</li></ul>\n' } } } }
