This particular query returns "Whoops... Six Degrees of Wikipedia is temporarily unavailable. Please try again in a few seconds." which I assume is due to a timeout. I guess the problem is that it looks like there would be hundreds of thousands of paths
but if that's the case then the error message is a bit undescriptive.

That's the error my server returns when it's down 😅 I run SDOW on a tiny little compute instance which sometimes runs out of memory on queries like this.

Seems to work now that I've updated the database dump to Dec 20, 2023:

This was probably due to running out of memory. Now the links have changed such that it required less memory to find. The solution is to either run this on a bigger server with more memory or make the algorithm more memory efficient. I don't have the ability to do either of those things right now, but maybe someday.

Thanks for reporting!
