Issue with mass move
editHey, I closed the discussion at Talk:Snooker world rankings 1976/1977 and tried to mass-move all the articles using the move all button, but the script failed to move them. Not sure why, and a couple of the ones in the middle did get moved (I closed out of the pop-up around that time, as the first several had all failed and I didn't expect any of the rest to work).
I ended up just moving the articles using the script but using the move directly button, which worked okay. Skarmory (talk • contribs) 22:31, 18 June 2024 (UTC)
- Looking at how it started working a minute after the edits listing the close were done I think that might be due to rate limiting by the servers - I suspect the same issue would have occurred if you had clicked "move directly" from the start.
- I’ve been meaning to implement a more systematic process to prevent rate limiting causing issues, but that wont be a quick fix - for the moment, when closing large multi-move RM’s, maybe wait a minute before clicking any button to start the moves? BilledMammal (talk) 22:45, 18 June 2024 (UTC)
