Unable to upload to Wikidata from OpenRefine

Hi, I tried twice this morning to upload a batch of data from OpenRefine to Wikidata. No error message appeared in OpenRefine, but I noticed the items in the preview pane weren't showing the newly created Qids. The items haven't uploaded to Wikidata, and there's no evidence of upload in https://editgroups.toolforge.org/ either.
I closed OpenRefine, waited a few hours and tried again but am still getting the same errors in my log, which I've pasted below.
Do you know what the issue might be?
Thanks
Helen

Hi all, I've tried another 2 times to upload this content to Wikidata but am still getting the same error messages as above. I found this OpenRefine doesn't properly handle MediaWiki rate limits · Issue #6018 · OpenRefine/OpenRefine · GitHub and have managed to find my own log page for this Abuse filter log - Wikidata which indicates I'm triggering filter 36 for non notable subpage I've not yet managed to work out what that means though. I'm loading issue metadata for a journal title, prior to adding article metadata for that journal, which will all link to the issue data. I've done this before for other journals, so not sure what's going wrong. This now perhaps needs Wikimedia expertise rather than OpenRefine expertise, but nevertheless, if anyone has any ideas I'd be very grateful!

Thanks
Helen

Happy to report this issue has been resolved! Linking to the related chat on Wikidata in case this helps someone else to resolve a similar situation in the future

Amazing! This confirms that we need to be much better at reporting those problems to users, so that you could identify better that the edits were failing because of an abuse filter. I have been working on this recently, so I hope this makes it into a published version at some point!

That would be amazing @antonin_d - it would be so helpful to be able to see what's causing an edit to fail. Thanks!
