FAMEData item glitch
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Hello there!
I seriously need to get something sorted out
I wanted the items created on famedata to be in the mainspace and I thought deleting the item namespace and redirecting existing items to mainspace would help
It helped though but it's causing a BADTITLE result when a user tries to create a new item on famedata

Please help out on this because I just found out a documentation on mediawiki on how to set up items in the mainspace which can be accessed here
Please help as a new item can no longer be created and it's causing a very big issue.

@Ugochimobi Hi. Please do not set the priority to Unbreak Now, that is usually only used when a major service is down or when all wikis are down. If you're not sure about a priority please rather leave it as Needs Triage. More can be read here: https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Phabricator#Triaging_tasks

But creating an item is currently down though?

You can try creating an item on famedata to see what I'm saying

I understand, but that's just one bug on a wiki. I'm not saying that's not important, but by our rules it doesn't earn the UBN priority which is reserved to very serious incidents (i.e. all wikis/many wikis completely down, a serious security incident, a major issue with a service).

Oh I get

Please help
so many complaints coming in ..................................

Could this be a content model issue?

Could this be a content model issue?

Hmmm.... I think so

I think resolving this won't be very hard
It's just setting new items to created on mainspace which the documentation is here

Redmin subscribed.

You can fix this by setting $wmgWikibaseItemNamespaceID to 0.

Please @R4356th that didn't solve the issue
I still can't create a new item

I seriously think the solution is in that documentation

$wgWBRepoSettings['entityNamespaces']['item'] = NS_MAIN;

May need set.

Because even on statements, Items are vanishing and links to all existing items are turning /Special:Badtitle/NS860:Q332
And i think the reason for such bad title is the default Item namspace number, 860

Great!

Just that items created during this period were note existing
