[13:33:25] Hi. This is User:Nick Moyes. I apologise for making a request at extremely short notice, but I seek a sysadmin to enable Mass Account creation from a single IP address on Tuesday 3rd October from 07:00 UTC to 15:00. [13:33:26] I am running an online Editathon event for a workshop being held at the South African Astronomical Observatory in Cape Town, South Africa. The venue’s IP address is 155.232.7.202. [13:33:26] Despite asking all attendees to create Wikipedia accounts in advance, we are finding some attendees are reporting their workplace IP addresses don’t let them access Wikipedia. We have tested this IP address, and know it works (See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Nick_Moyes#Testing_from_SAAO) [13:33:27] I would like to permit up to 40 accounts to be created from that IP address on that day. There will be no Wikipedian present 'in person' at the venue, and it seems I may be alone on the online training. Whilst I shall be inviting account creation from the Education Dashboard, I do expect some participants may try to create a Wikipedia account well [13:33:27] before I give my afternoon session. I am particularly keen not to accidentally find that IP address gets automatically blocked for suspicious activity [13:33:28] I hope this makes sense. As I’m not familiar with using chat rooms, please contact me if I fail to respond here to any follow up questions via my en-wiki talk page at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Nick_Moyes [13:33:28] Many thanks, in advance, Nick Moyes [13:33:29] (Preparation notes available at  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Nick_Moyes/training) [13:38:10] https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mass_account_creation [13:40:12] Yes: I read that: that's why I posted here, per the instructions which stated " If filed on short notice, you can try to find a sysadmin to assist by going to the IRC channel #wikimedia-tech." Nick. [13:42:37] You'll still need to create a phab task for a paper trail :) [18:23:55] I periodically get a weird error message from the upload wizard on commons - I'll tell it to upload Example.jpg, and it will tell me "ERROR:You are already uploading Example.jpg"... and then it'll finish the upload just fine. [18:24:09] any idea what might be causing this [18:25:09] double clicking the upload button or something like that maybe? [18:25:57] If you had a HAR file capturing this actually happening, it would tell us more, although i imagine that would be difficult to get since you wouldn't know its about to happen until it actually does [18:27:39] That error looks like the message mwe-upwiz-upload-error-duplicate-filename-error [18:29:14] looking at the source code, it seems like the error message happens if the same file is selected to be uploaded twice, so if it does, one of them gets removed and error shown, but the other copy is uploaded [18:32:53] bawolff - no, I'm very careful about clicking, because this happens so frequently. [18:33:05] also, "HAR" ? [18:34:22] After i looked at the code, maybe HAR wouldn't be useful as it seems like this error is client side [18:34:37] HAR is a debug format browsers can create. It shows all network requests and responses [18:35:15] https://www.ourpcgeek.com/how-to-generate-har-file/ [18:35:33] If it was an issue with communicating with the server, HAR would show exactly what happened [18:42:52] gonna try again with a new image (I'm extracting line art from century-old newspapers at Chronicling America) [18:43:57] * bawolff should clarify, im just guessing here. Someone who actually works on uploadwizard might have better answers [18:48:21] maybe your files have very similar file names, so that they normalize to the same name in mediawiki [18:48:43] e.g. i get something similar to what you describe if i try uploading "test.jpg" and "_test.jpg" [18:49:42] it definitely shouldn't show an error at this point though, uploadwizard doesn't care about the file names until you specify them in the last step [18:50:59] or… maybe your files with different names are actually identical? it looks like that also causes this message [18:51:36] wait, no it doesn't, it just goes all wacky [18:51:42] No, I give them very, very distinct and specific names [18:52:11] for instance, I just got the error message a few minutes ago when I uploaded [[File:Jane Donelson and a toddler.jpg]] [18:53:07] and, as I said, these are images from newspapers that are over a century old, so I don't think they're likely to already be on here [18:53:52] okay, my guess was completely wrong, but i see what happens now [18:54:25] if you select a file to upload, continue to the "Release rights" step, and then go back and upload more files, you will get this popup every time [18:54:47] (maybe it also happens if you complete the whole process, and then try to upload more files, but i didn't check that) [18:55:47] hmm [19:05:53] okay, it happens whenever I try to upload multiple images simultaneously [19:07:24] looks like it's already filed as https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T235542
