I know ratelimits are applied to stuff like page previews. Can't you also apply a ratelimit (say, 6 per minute per IP? is that enough to stop things from breaking?) to these 5000-queries?

"works for me"

Thank you. For this case, I think everything is fine now. I was just surprised to see how discussions about virtually the same subject took place without them being connected. It would perhaps have been more efficient if there had been a link. (T27707 contained plenty of relevant information)
Per Dalba, it shouldn't be a problem to mark the undone edit as patrolled. It's either undone and can be patrolled, or it was right and can be patrolled. Only the reversion may need patrolling. (if the reverting user isn't autopatrolled) Also, marking undone edits could (if desired) be restricted to certain user groups. (in that case I would restrict it to autopatrollers I think)
CKoerner, Aklapper, thanks. I still see room for improvement, perhaps something like a separate section in the newsletter for stuff that can still be commented on and hasn't been decided yet.

I used this on a regular basis on Commons. The tools to search contributions are frequently inadequate for my purposes and/or I want some statistics combined with the number of contributions on Commons being huge compared to Wikipedia.
@tstarling @Krinkle thanks to the both of you! What surprises me is that it seems the discussion on Commons at the beginning of this year (which was quite heated) and the resolving of T27707 as a result only a few months before this task was created happened, seemingly, completely independent from each other. Also, I'm surprised to see it actually is possible to drop support for dead browsers. We were lead to believe it was impossible.. Also see comments like the one from @revi : "I'm sure WMF will reject this. Don't waste your time. Bye."

It's hard to say when the right time is, but waiting for more widespread support is a good idea. Imagine we start transcoding now and when hardware implementations finally come around, nothing plays because their implementation is quirky.
There is only one blocking task for this and that's T236341. @MarkTraceur if this has high priority, maybe raise the priority on T236341?

I'd think there isn't much of a use case for pages you do want to get page link notices for but do not want on your watchlist.

@Bawolff What would it take to move this forward?

@Majora I want this.

I haven't read all this, but could this Commons report be related?

@DannyS712 perhaps you could make the example above into something that would actually work? (not sure who to ask..) Also, @Fae asked if it would be possible to add information from the EXIF.

When uploading the first revision of https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Stek5.jpg (not deleted, just overwritten), I now get no error.

With 4K video becoming more and more commonplace, 4GB isn't always enough. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Politparade.webm and https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Genderwahn.webm are encoded to fit within MediaWiki's limit, which isn't a good sign. And 9 Mbps for 4K.. Well.. Could be worse, but.. not ideal. And they lack 1440p and 2160p transcodes, presumably due to the file size limit.

Disabling crosswiki uploads permanently would be a relief..

@Urbanecm Arjoopy got an error message about 900 edits per 180 seconds.
I don't know if I even support this myself anymore.. The only thing that should be fixed is the error message. @DannyS712, did you already create a task for that?

(this would be in addition to 100 moves/minute for file movers)

@Urbanecm Thanks, I understand it now, the configuration is on top of the defaults.
