Hi,
I need help with an uploaded file on Commons which is broken: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Caspary,_Daniel_%28de%29.webm
This file was - among many others - uploaded to Commons using the Commonist. Now as you see the wikitext is completely missing and there is no way to add it. The wikitext revision seems to be missing, rendering the database broken.
* the history is empty * trying to edit the page results in an edit conflict which is not resolvable (trying to overwrite just triggers the next edit conflict)
Can someone please have a look at the database and fix this issue?
Thanks,
Manuel
There are currently 96 pages on commonswiki with page_latest = 0 (i.e. they are missing a revision to display). Some go back to 2013 (oldest is [1]), but a spate of about 40 or so have appeared in the last few days.
Very odd... I guess they all need to be fixed and the underlying issue checked out.

This is happening a lot recently, see https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=32551 . 96 is an under-estimate since commons generally deletes these pages.

thanks for looking into this issue.
Two more notes: * there is a bug on this: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=32551
* the symptoms can be fixed by deleting the page, then it can be re-created. See: https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=File:Caspary,_Daniel_%28de%2...
Thanks to all who are looking into this and User:Steinsplitter who deleted all the affected pages today,
Manuel
