Issue with uploading captions to Wiki Commons Files - permission denied / Uploading too fast?

Support and Helpdesk

Hi everyone,
I uploaded 160 pictures in a batch sucessfully to Wiki Commons, but had issues with uploading the captions as well. I always get the error message in the wikibase edit results:

[permissiondenied] You do not have the permissions needed to carry out this action.

I tried to upload only the captions afterwards to the reconcieled files, with the same result. They have the correct lenght (under 250 characters) and have no wikitext.

In the command/code window wikibaseapi seems to send the message "We are editing too fast." See code:

Any idea what might be the issue(s)? Thanks a lot!

@ConBo Have you checked the granted permissions? It seems you might have missed to give the permission to edit the existing pages..

3

I was able to edit wikitext and change wikidata entries after the upload, but not the captions.
But where would I find this permission setting? in Wikicommons or in OR in wikibase?

4

I have checked adding caption now from my end.. Noticied that if I’m adding 1 caption for a row its working even though its showing 0% completed.. But for multiple rows its not working…

5

@ConBo do you mind sharing your Wikimedia username, so that we can have a look at what permissions/rate limits your account has?

For 1 record the caption upload does fail, too.
