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. Category:Pages_with_script_errors 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)

I'm going to quickly try and replicate it with a different infobox before posting on the Scribunto pages. I should probably also try to reduce the number of conditionals as that'd generally reduce load but that's probably not related. This is probably where learning just enough to create infoboxes while in the middle of so many other things will come back to bite me. --Mia (talk) 11:07, 15 January 2015 (PST)

The response I got was 'You set $wgScribuntoEngineConf['luastandalone']['cpuLimit'] too low. Either raise it or unset it.' - it wasn't set so I tried it at 60 seconds, which has sorted out those errors but is slow to load. Caching will help with existing pages but it's still going to need tweaking. Anyway, let me know how you get on. --Mia (talk) 15:30, 15 January 2015 (PST)
