Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: interwiki Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None

Priority: 8

Private: No Submitted By: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: interwiki.py does reverts

Initial Comment: I got this message. As far as I know is this an old feature, that should be solved a long time ago. At this moment I'm working with revision 5909. But I don't know with which version I did the reverts.

For the description of the feature see the message send by someones else that detected this feature.

Hello Carsrac,

I would like to draw your attention to these edits made by your bot: [http://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Auge&diff=48157069&oldid=4... article de:Auge] and [http://la.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The_Beatles&diff=562763&ol... article la:The Beatles]. Obviously, the bot didn't edit the version that was at that time the current one, but an older one. That's equivalent to doing a revert. It seems that the bot edited the second last version that had been created by a bot. In these cases that meant a revert of [http://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Auge&diff=48157069&oldid=4... two versions] of de:Auge and of [http://la.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The_Beatles&diff=562763&ol... 24 versions] of la:The Beatles.

How could that happen? Is there any reason to believe this didn't happen more often? I believe these are questions to be well considered since the bot seems to have done several thousand, if not tens of thousands of edits during that time. And it would be very assuring to know that the possibility that this still can or will happen can be ruled out.

Message: This more likely seems to be the same as [ 1790473 ] Interwiki bot overwrites changes, no edit conflict.

Message: I don't know whether this and "[ 1999895 ] iw bot doesn't detect edit conflict" are the same bug, but here it does not really seem to be an edit conflict. We are talking about 11 and 19 days, repeat DAYS, old versions here.

Message: rciw.py for example *will* trigger this behavior quite often, sometimes working on a version more than 10 hours old. I am not however, able to confirm this on the standard interwiki.py
