@Pavan_santhosh.s: This task was created a few hours in advance, on a weekend, which is very short notice. Please try to find a sysadmin to assist by going to the IRC channel #wikimedia-tech on Freenode.

For future reference, see Requesting temporary lift of IP cap.

Meanwhile you find someone, I'm preparing the change.

@Dereckson: I'm afraid I was faster? But please double-check, I'm a newbie in this.

Throttle rule is fine.

To avoid subtraction, note it's also possible to write local timezones like +05:30.

Dereckson moved this task from Backlog to To deploy on the Wikimedia-Site-requests board.
