Temporary lift IP cap for WikiArabia 2024 at Muscat on 24-28 October 2024
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Hello,

WikiArabia 2024, the seventh edition of WikiArabia conference will be held physically from 25 to 27 October 2024 in Muscat, Sultanate of Oman.

The conference organizers apologize for this late request, but due to a technical error this request was not submitted early, we hope it will be possible to help in completing the request (@Urbanecm)

Per Requesting temporary lift of IP cap:

The event time frame (start and end) of your event, and the time zone you expressed the hours (local or UTC)

24-28 October 2024 at Hormuz Grand Muscat in Muscat, Sultanate of Oman (UTC+4)

The IPs to allow (you may have to contact the venue organization to learn this information)

172.20.0.0/20
134.0.213.0/24

The expected number of people to attend the event

500-700 people

The list of wikis you wish to allow account creation on

ar.wikipedia.org

A link to the Wiki page discussing the event or, if there is no such page, a link to your user page on your primary wiki

Event Timeline

Just to note, as I keep doing...

A /20 is 4,096 IP addresses, and a /24 is 256...

Just another note: 172.20.0.0/20 are private IPs, so, we can't create exceptions over these IPs (see more information)

Haha. Good catch, yeah.

Which also negates my point about it being such a large range in that case.

Thanks @Reedy and @Superzerocool.

So, can we only left the cap over 134.0.213.0/24?

Thanks

Done. But please, next time, really do try to make those kind of requests in advance – it is way easier to handle them that way. Thanks!

Thanks @Urbanecm.
Taking your point into consideration, I'll sent a note to the Wikimedia movement affiliates in the Arab region.
