Petscan down?
Howdy!

I've been trawling through the Ohio Expedition to fill out outline articles, and noticed that the PetScan links no longer work, yielding a 502 Bad Gateway. However [|Petscan] petscan itself still appears to work. Am I doing it wrong?

Thank you for your time! Mbrickn (talk) 18:44, 12 December 2018 (UTC)


 * Works for me, so it doesn't seem to be down. When I do many searches after each other in Petscan, I may get that same 502 error. This was a fairly common problem until a few months ago (after 3-4 searches it almost certainly yielded the 502 Bad Gateway), nowadays I've rarely encountered the error. I resolve it by opening Petscan in a new tab or new window. ϒψιλον  (talk ) 18:51, 12 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Yes something changed yesterday. The automatic execute does not appear to work any more. If you go to the end of the link and remove &doit=1 it will work. Have to press the Do it manually. If it does not fix soon I will change the syntax of the call to manual run. --Traveler100 (talk) 19:09, 12 December 2018 (UTC)

 * Oh, I see, the links from the table. Those don't work for me either, while Petscan still otherwise seems to be working normally. ϒψιλον  (talk ) 19:24, 12 December 2018 (UTC)
 * ✅, at least for now. Seems to work fine when language is specified; I'm a little concerned this wasn't documented anywhere, but, what can you do? ARR8 (talk) 04:04, 14 December 2018 (UTC)
 * RegionStats, RegionTasks and supporting catscancall have been updated. First to fix problem above, second to handle planned changes to listing visual editor output. This will affect region expedition pages and some search links on category pages. Checks look good but pay a little extra attention to the results and report and anomalies. --Traveler100 (talk) 18:09, 15 December 2018 (UTC)
