Description

This is a followup to Bug 42715 which had been marked fixed in December 2012, and was reopened and fixed again in February 2013. As suggested by Andre there, I'm opening a new bug now.

The log at https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=notifytranslators shows two recent cases where several identical notifications were sent out:

21:58, 2 December 2013 Ijon (talk | contribs) sent a notification about translating page Grants:Index/Eligibility requirements; languages: all languages; deadline: none; priority: (unset); sent to 1448 recipients, failed for 0 recipients, skipped for 218 recipients
21:57, 2 December 2013 Ijon (talk | contribs) sent a notification about translating page Grants:Index/Eligibility requirements; languages: all languages; deadline: none; priority: (unset); sent to 1451 recipients, failed for 0 recipients, skipped for 215 recipients

Example notification: https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=131833&diff=6586342&oldid=6585821

(Asaf/Ijon says that while he clicked the browser's back button to return to the "preview notification" screen, he is certain that he did not go forward again to the send button, or reload it.)

This looks unintentional too:

Probably also this earlier case (see https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?diff=5654816&oldid=5654815 ):

Did Asaf also get a timeout? As said on bug 55397 comment 3, if we get a 504 it's not unlikely that something goes really bad here, I suppose. A fix for that bug has been merged but not deployed yet.

Tilman / Asaf: As bug 55397 and bug 42715 are fixed:
Has anybody still seen this problem lately?

There is no such event in the following months, I conclude that the fix for bug 55397 resolved the issue. Reopen if it happens again (and don't retry if you get a 504!).
