Lift IP rate limit - Editathon (WMCL) - 2017-09-29
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Wikimedia Chile, the local chapter in Chile, will host an outreach event at Santiago on September 29th.

This event is an Editathon about Art+Feminism to be held in the Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes (MNBA) in Santiago, Chile.

As we think, we will have a lot of newcomers due the editathon theme, so we are requesting lift the IP rate limit for the event. Our partners (MNBA) are estimating about 100 attendees (veteran, new users, others). The users could edit in Spanish, English Wikipedia, Wikimedia Commons and Wikidata, and every time will be helped by the users and volunteers of Wikimedia Chile to don't allow break anything into Wikimedia projects.

So, I request lift the IP rate limit around 12 hours (between 13:00 UTC - 01:00 UTC ; 09:00 CLST - 21:00 CLST)

Wikis: es.wikipedia.org, en.wikipedia.org, commons.wikimedia.org wikidata.org
IP addresses: 186.67.125.0/24 (ENTEL) and 163.247.67.20 to 163.247.67.62 (Gov. Network as backup)
Timeframe: Sep 29 2017 13:00 UTC to Sep 30 2017 01:00
Wikipage of the event: TBA - https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Superzerocool
Attendees: 100

Thanks in advance

Yup.

Patch is uploaded (deployment will be done tomorrow, between 13:00 and 14:00 UTC). Are you sure that you can't get any else IP addres than those 42 when using the government backup?

Our partner give these IP address assigned to MNBA Central Hall, so I'll think those are fine.
