How to reproduce:
- Make a worklist for a simple job: i.e. https://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Benutzer:Boshomi/worklist9&oldid=159348094
- open 50 tabs, do fast editing, (userscripts like TMg/weblinkChecker are usefull)
- save the tabs with Alt+S
- open next 50 tabs, do the edit, save all tabs with Alt+S
Result:
If you are fast enough you get the message, that you are not logged in.
instead of username "Nicht angemeldet" is displayed in right top of the page
but: you are logged in: preview works, and after preview your username get displayed on the top of the page. After preview, save of the page is possible.
If you have saved a lot of pages, while you are logged off, it is necessary to preview all the not saved pages, because the session is lost.
What do I expect:
- it should not be possible, by editing with hand only supported by user-scripts to run into edit-limits, especially for users with thousands of edits.
- If there are limits for new/unexperienced users, the error message should be more usefull: do not fake a logout, say that your session is closed, and with preview you will get a new session.
The limits are not useful. It is possible to roll back the edits of a user or a bot by writing a worklist like this: https://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Benutzer:Boshomi/worklist9&diff=prev&oldid=158900632
If you know how to rollback thousand's of edits within minutes, you can't find any valid reason for editlimits. If there is a user with hundred or tousend of bad edits (once a month in wikis like dewiki?) roll it back an nothing is happened, but in most cases a user with duced of bad edits get blocked very fast.
