Impossible to set a label

Hi! In Q49290 I try to set label for italian (it) "Contea di Northampton" with js interface. Does not return any error, but after reloading the page the label is empty again. Thanks --Beta16 (talk) 11:22, 6 January 2013 (UTC)

I dont know why there is now error message if you use the normel surface and no plugin but the problem is that Q292459 has the same Label + Description. It is not possible to set on two items the same Label +Description. I tried the label "Contea di Northampton, Virgina" and this worked. --Sk!d (talk) 11:55, 6 January 2013 (UTC)

    It's some time (maybe after last update), that slurpInterwiki don't show the message of conflict in some case. --ValterVB (talk) 12:06, 6 January 2013 (UTC)
    Maybe the problem is with Media wiki code. If you try to add the label Mesquita on Q2656498 (Italian language), the label isn't added because alredy exist in Q984780 but no one message is showed. --ValterVB (talk) 12:18, 6 January 2013 (UTC)

        In this case I tried both with "AutoEdit" either by entering the text in the normal human interface. In both cases I did not receive any error message. Until to 4 or 5 days ago, in the case in which I tried to insert the same label and description of another item already present was generated an error message.
        Even after logging out, then without gadgets or custom js, I do not receive any error message, but the label is not changed. I think the user should be warned that the action that was trying to make is not successful. --Beta16 (talk) 13:46, 6 January 2013 (UTC)
        My bot does not report any of the "same label + descriptions" conflicts on User:Sk!dbot/conflict since the last update (see history). It could be possible that there had been no conflicts but this seems to be very unlikely. --Sk!d (talk) 18:20, 6 January 2013 (UTC)

Impossible to set a label (2)

I open a new topic because I don't think that is a problem with the bot. Try this: set Italian language, then on the label of Q2656498 copy Mesquita and save, everything looks okay, but if you refresh the page the label is missing. Tried with IE and Chrome --ValterVB (talk) 18:39, 6 January 2013 (UTC)

I think it's the same bug, see also: Wikidata:Project chat#deployed new code. (BTW: I've added the title for Q2656498. I my case only dubs showed this problem.) --Kolja21 (talk) 03:50, 7 January 2013 (UTC)

    Q2656498 (it, mg) was a dub of Q1022432. --Kolja21 (talk) 03:58, 7 January 2013 (UTC)
