Request for allowance of multiple account registers from same IP for 2018-02-27
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Hello,

We'll be running a workshop/ edit-a-thon next Tuesday, 27 February 2018, between 10.00 and 17:30 London time. While we expect most of the participats to have their accounts already created at that time, I would like to request an allowance of multiple account registers from same IP for that date and time, just in case we have some last minute participants without accounts.

Due to the nature of the wi-fi on the room where the workshop will take place, we will only know the IP range next Monday.

Can someone please help with this?

Thanks,

Paulo

We really do need at least a week before the event, otherwise, we cannot guarantee all processes at our side will be done.

Not actionable, we do need a few of information before lifting: See https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mass_account_creation#Requesting_temporary_lift_of_IP_cap for details.

Hello,

The National Library has just sent me the IP address to be excepted for accopunt creation. In case it still is possible, the address is:

All laptops when connected to BNP-WIFI will be assigned this IP.

Thank you very much,

Paulo
