Bug #: 30340
Summary: Searching for forum contributions in Wikipedia forum
throws goggle error message
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: major
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: Search
AssignedTo: wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org
ReportedBy: andreas.wikipedia.bugzi...@naradana.com
Classification: Unclassified
User intention:
Search for already existing entries in Wikipedia's technical forum
Steps to repeat:
Open page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Village_pump
Click on any "search" link, e.g. the one under "Technical"
Expected behavior:
Show result list (obviously provided by Google)
Actual behavior:
Google throws an error message telling me:
"We're sorry...
... but your computer or network may be sending automated queries. To protect
our users, we can't process your request right now."
I once read that this could happen with Google, so the source of the bug most
likely is not related to Wikipedia. Still, this is a crucial function when
using the forums, and should work.
I'm running a private network with a well configured WLAN and computers
configured to defend malware as best as possible. It's quite unlikely that my
network is the actual reason for Google's error message.
I hope this is the right place to post this error message. I just wanted to
post this bug report while using Wikipedia, without getting too much involved
into the Mediawiki architecture - please excuse my impatience.
Thanks
