I think this is a site request rather than sth dashboard-related, feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

NicholasG04 triaged this task as Medium priority.

Hiya, I'll be working on this task hopefully as part of Google Code-in 2019!

Thank you @NicholasG04! Be free to contact us if you need help.

Just want to check, if I may, whether I should be allowing a grace period before/after the event and also in the value of users? Right now I've extended the exception for one hour either side of the event and also set a value of 25 because 'expecting roughly 15 people', in my mind, may rise up to such number. Is this ok or should I change these settings? Thanks!

I've also assumed this should be enwiki because of being Wikipedia in the UK.

This is totally fine.

@Cbderbylib The lift will be implemented for enwiki, do you need any additional projects?

It says on the dashboard page that it's only on Wikipedia UK so I'll push my changes to Gerrit as described above! Thanks, Mr Urbanec.
