Hello everyone! For several days now I encounter an error when reconciling with Wikidata. I reconciled the items via Wikidata Qid without problem but when I try to use the “add columns from reconciled values” it does not recognise any property name. The error is simply saying: “Sorry, something w…

Can confirm with 3.9.5: It happens when you type in a property name, not when using the suggested properties: Column with „value as identifier”: [Bildschirmfoto 2026-03-11 um 16.59.01] “normal” reconciled column: [Bildschirmfoto 2026-03-11 um 17.01.01]

That error could be more informative :(, but if you look on your browser's Javascript console, there may be more detail available. Please create a ticket in our issue tracker with as much information as you're able to collect and we'll have a look. https://github.com/OpenRefine/OpenRefine/issues/ …

This looks related to another recent thread reporting reconciliation failures: [image] Error while reconciliating Support and Helpdesk Hello, I’m trying to use OpenRefine, but there are some troubles that have been happening this week. After I enter “Reconcile…

Thanks Martin. That was a question that I realized that I left out of my reply - "What reconciliation service are you using?" I'm not sure who maintains the wikidata.reconci.link service these days (or if it is maintained). Your Phabricator ticket says "intermittent" which I haven't seen in the oth…

@tfmorris , here is a screenshot of my test today, on the same batch, I got a mix of success, 403, and errors [reconciliation-error]

Thanks. That's weird that it's returning 403 Forbidden if it's a rate limit problem. I guess we'll have to wait for the Wikidata folks to sort it out. I confirmed that the 403 is coming from Wikidata and is not being generated by the reconciliation service (by running my own version of the service). …

I encountered this error too! Some days it works and reconciles everything, some days its full of that error (that was last week’s experience). I also noticed that the error always presents itself when I am reconciling using multiple properties e.g. the label and an ID property. My original post wa…

I had a look at it when it was failing and the reconciliation service isn't sending the User-Agent header required by Wikidata for this particular case. That subjects it to stricter rate limits. My best guess is that the Wikidata dev ops folks were messing with the rate limits over the past few day…

Unfortunately this error is present again for at least a week now, and I cannot proceed because of this. Is there a way to preset the suggested properties? It never suggests the ones the I use the most often but because of this error I cannot add new columns based on reconciled columns just the ones…
