OK, let me summarize my situation, as of today:
- Essentially, all my Wikidata edits (both bots and _javascript_ on Toolforge) run through the same OAuth PHP class I wrote
- Every single edit (including "create item") runs with a "maxlag=5" parameter.
- If the edit fails because of maxlag, it will wait 5 seconds, then try again, until it succeeds.
- This mechanism has been in place for months.
- As of today, after every edit (including "create item"), it will check the current lag on Wikidata.
- If the current lag is >1 sec, it will sleep three times the lag (in int seconds; so, if lag is 1.5 sec, it will sleep int(3*1.5)=4 seconds) before returning.
- If that check fails for some reason, it will sleep a pre-defined time for each edit type (create item=2sec, edit=1 sec)
That is a total of three different rate limitations (two dynamic, one hardcoded fallback). Personally, I consider that beyond due diligence, verging on paranoia. Therefore, I consider this matter resolved, as far as my tools are concerned.
