[01:04:51] Haha, today the sentence separator failed to get a WASI runner! : https://tools-static.wmflabs.org/bridgebot/7eaaa533/file_81116.jpg [01:09:06] At T429430 James F says it "is often actually user error rather than server error (but indeed, not always)" (re @Al: I don’t think it’s anything specific at our end. Simple calls require only one runner, so they are less likely to fail to acquir...) [03:00:31] More pencils for QIDs (low German) : https://tools-static.wmflabs.org/bridgebot/8545a21e/file_81120.jpg [03:51:14] when rendered in Z1492, AW pages show up in left-to-right, but apparently it uses Perso-Arabic script so should be RTL [08:51:38] If the performance characteristics of the system are such that a particular call will (currently) always lead to the same type of failure, then, yes, I suppose it is the user community that has to work around that deficiency in the system, somehow. By extension, the same categorisation might be applied in the case where the call is highly likely to lead to that error. I [08:51:38] did try a [08:51:39] djusting the number of elements in Z34975, but the error was still intermittent with six elements, so I left it at ten. (re @u99of9: At T429430 James F says it "is often actually user error rather than server error (but indeed, not always)") [11:00:05] *Abstract Wikipedia Newsletter Nr. 253 [11:00:06] * [11:00:08] * The or not the, this is (the?) question [11:00:09] * Recent Changes in the software [11:00:11] * News in Types: Syntactic tables… but not yet [11:00:12] * NLG SIG recording [11:00:14] * Upcoming events [11:00:15] * Fresh Functions weekly: 43 new Functions [11:00:17] https://www.wikifunctions.org/wiki/Wikifunctions:Status_updates/2026-06-19 [11:18:19] I have built the English definite into a few functions. Here is an example where is returns some with and one without. : https://tools-static.wmflabs.org/bridgebot/7931010a/file_81126.jpg [11:19:25] But I it's not yet anywhere near that good. I had to edit Wikidata to get them right. (re @u99of9: I have built the English definite into a few functions. Here is an example where is returns some with and one without.) [11:23:02] I think @dvd_ccc27919 has some that work better in Italian (re @u99of9: But it's not yet anywhere near that good. I had to edit Wikidata to get them right.) [11:28:49] I certainly agree that it is a tough challenge.
