Temporarely remove account creation limit for event on Portuguese Wikipedia on March 08, 2018
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

I will be hosting an editathon tomorrow under the WikiGap movement on a large government institute and with the Sweden Embassy. We expect that about 30-40 persons will show up.

Summary:

Potential account creation: 30-40
Time: 12:00 UTC - 21:00 UTC
IP: 177.15.131.174
Wiki: pt.wikipedia.org (Portuguese Wikipedia)
Event page on wiki: https://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikip%C3%A9dia:Edit-a-thon/Atividades_em_portugu%C3%AAs/ArteseFeminismos_Bras%C3%ADlia_2018

We have requested that the participant create their accounts today at home, but not sure if everyone will be reached in time. I only could have access to the IP today and that is why I didn't request it before. Thanks!
