A Wikipedia editing tutorial in Hong Kong is coming tomorrow. We need to throttle the account creation limit in case that attendees forget to create their own accounts so that we can create accounts for them.
Throttle rule:
| Subject | Repo | Branch | Lines +/- | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Define new throttle rule | operations/mediawiki-config | master | +8 -8 |
But please, in future requests, create those requests at least a week in advance, otherwise we cannot guarantee that all required processes at our side will be completed before your event. BTW this is lifting of existing throttling (limiting), which defaults to 6 accounts per day, not creating throttling, but this is just to mention proper terminology ;).
Change 413713 had a related patch set uploaded (by Urbanecm; owner: Urbanecm):

Done. But please be warned that your future last minute requests will be declined! Unscheduled deployment can break things.
