Please post images in higher resolution/quality! It's very hard to read anything from that. Or, at least, copy paste the text under the grey line

Looks like a squid ERROR_CANNOT_FORWARD, but can't tell which squid(s) this may be

Is this still reproducible? If yes, can you provide a link to one page where this problem can be seen?

I tried to remove the following line that inserts a picture that is no longer available on wikicommons:

[[ملف:Babri rearview.jpg|تصغير|[[مسجد بابري|مسجد بابور]] في ولاية [[أوتار براديش]] [[الهند|بالهند]]، معبد هندوسي سابق استحال مسجدًا في عهد [[إمبراطورية مغول الهند|الأباطرة المغول]] ثم هدمه هندوس متعصبون سنة 1992.]]

and what I got was the following message about indicates a time out when passing data through the squid proxy:

I was all ready to say something about complex templates and try using lua, but...

I tried the ?forceprofile option to the url, and had some interesting results:

Which seems wrong, so maybe something is wrong with Pool counter config?

Actually, that's probably just because i was visiting a pretty busy page, and maybe someone else had started rendering it in the time between my browser following the redirect from ?action=purge to the real page. Anyhow, ignore what i said above.

Problem is probably really complicated templates that need to be optimized (The templates take so long to render, that the page times out). Using lua for templates will probably result in a big speed boost.

Actually, it doesn't seem to be templates at all. I imported مصر into my local wiki, and it renders fine normally but if I change languages/messages/MessagesEn.php to set $linkPrefixExtension = true it takes a very long time.

tin:~$ mwscript eval.php --wiki=arwiki

return wfMessage( 'linkprefix' )->inContentLanguage()->text()

/^(.*?)([a-zA-Z\x80-\xff]+)$/sD

Not that bad, just that it gets called on each line of the text :/

Is this problem something that only recently started happening (e.g. in the past month) or is it a longer running problem?

No, it is a longer running problem. And it usually happens with long articles.

Improve linkprefix regular expressions

https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/81368

Hi Alolita, could you find someone on your team to finish off? Brad has taken this as far as his expertise and time will allow. Thanks!

Bip? Is there anything new with this?

Current status of code review is that the patch needs associated tests.

Parser::replaceInternalLinks2-prefixhandling block is called 4706 times for a
total of 106165.145 microseconds out of 132266.461 total (which includes
15696.702 for the profiling itself).

You mean 106165.145 milliseconds, not microseconds.

Hi there. So, this is a serious issue hampering actual page editing on a major Wikipedia. Can we get a timeline on when the patch could go live? Who is in charge of writing those tests?

Tim and Brad are working on getting this resolved ASAP; fuzz testing is in progress as you can see in the changeset above. This is known to be a high priority issue, but it's also an area of the code where new subtle errors can easily be introduced, so suffice it to say that it's assigned, prioritized highly, and a fix will be deployed when we're confident that it resolves this issue without introducing new ones.

The testing is done to my satisfaction. The fix will be deployed today or tomorrow.

Oh, fantastic news, thanks!
