Fixing infobox/Lua errors

I'm putting my notes here so the status is clear while I'm working on fixing things.

GavinRobinson had reported that

Before the upgrade, it seemed to be the number of infoboxes on a manually created page that triggered errors. The first few infoboxes displayed fine but any more didn't display, and the number of error messages was the same as the number of missing infoboxes.

And that:

I've also been getting script errors in manual edits, especially if there are lots of infoboxes on a page. See http://collaborativecollections.org/WorldWarOne/index.php?title=Category:Pages_with_script_errors

However I'm not sure the number of errors is directly related to the number of infoboxes as http://collaborativecollections.org/WorldWarOne/British_Infantry_Arm has ten errors and 7 infoboxes; http://collaborativecollections.org/WorldWarOne/Guards_Division,_UK has matched error and infobox numbers; and http://collaborativecollections.org/WorldWarOne/Coldstream_Guards,_UK has one error and 7 infoboxes. I suspect it might be because some of the infobox templates got out of sync with usage but haven't had time to investigate.

Also NB: $wgShowExceptionDetails may be on at some times, in which case more information will show per error.

I'm still getting signal 24 errors. British Infantry Arm should have 17 infoboxes (see page source). 7 are displaying correctly, 10 are missing and there are 10 error messages.--GavinRobinson (talk) 10:16, 15 January 2015 (PST)

Is it always the same infobox missing? --Mia (talk) 10:43, 15 January 2015 (PST)

I think so. They display in the same order they're entered in the source code. It seems to be always after 7 infoboxes that it breaks down. also includes some of the infobox templates themselves, so maybe try to fix those first and see if any pages still have problems. A maximum of 7 infoboxes won't be enough as some British regiments have up to 50 battalions. The signal 24 error on pages with more than 7 infoboxes may be a different thing from what was breaking the imports before Christmas. I've manually created all the battalion pages that failed to import, and none of them have script errors.--GavinRobinson (talk) 10:59, 15 January 2015 (PST)
