Description:
In the Galician wikipedia when somebody tries to modify a big article, like https://gl.wikipedia.org/wiki/SIDA or https://gl.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Beatles, always gives back a time-out error although the modification realises properly. We do not have neither idea of what could be the problem but it happens with all the articles that have a big size.
Version: wmf-deployment
Severity: major
Thanks for taking the time to report this!
Could you please paste the exact, complete error here?
Reproducible doing a null edit on https://gl.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Beatles
The error message is a plain white page, with centered text:
504 Gateway Time-out
nginx/1.1.19
The page takes about 115 seconds to display this error page.
The HTML source of the page (when viewed, not the error page) displays the following:

At first glance, it would seem like a lot of the time is spent rendering Modelo:Obra_citada/núcleo. Optimizing that template may help to reduce the problem.

problem.
Additionally, enwikipedia has spent a lot of effort optimizing their cite template ( [[template:Citation]] and [[Module:Citation/CS1]] ), perhaps that work could be copied over/adapted by gl.wikipedia.org

elisardopr: Is comment 5 an option (copy Citation improvement over)?
I'll try to adapt that changes to gl.wiki, I'll post the result.

No, I tried to adapt the changes but I didn't make it work, and in past months I was too busy to review the problem. This is an item in my to-do list...

First of all, I have reviewed "Modelo:Obra_citada/núcleo" template: except from the translated lines, the code is the exact same as the English Wikipedia version.
After that, I have performed one simple test: I made a null edit in "The Beatles" article in both English and Galician Wikipedia at the same time. English Wikipedia won (about 35 seconds between the two; English article is sightly shorter), but it spent a lot of time to render the page, though.
My personal conclusion after that: Locally, we can only optimize the involved templates to reduce this issue. Any other idea?
Time to load "The Beatles" article when saving the null edit:
A null edit on https://gl.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Beatles finished within 12 seconds here on a cold cache.
Assuming this can be closed nowadays. If not, then please reopen.
