Yes, e.g. https://foundation.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:ListUsers&group=inactive. This group should be removed. And also such groups exists in some private wikis.

For the problem described in task description it is worsen by T226157: Data retrieval may be very long and heavy because of parsing Link during SiteLink initialization.

Bump as it affects the usability of newitem.py.

Alright, thanks! Both of those IDs were generated at some time between 20:30 and 21:30 (both UTC, I think) on January 3rd; overall, that time range saw 3058 IDs being generated, which I downloaded. Of those 3058 log events, 2954 hit /w/api.php (the rest presumably used Special:NewItem), all of them with action=wbeditentity. And out of those 2954, 2692 (91%) used the exact same request data (along with new=item and a handful other parameters):

Some bot was apparently very eager to ensure that Maggie Rogers, alias Mary Margaret Salisbury, member of the North American Mycological Association, got her item. (There’s no such item at the moment, but I don’t know whether the first request was successful and the 2691 others failed due to the duplicate label+description, and the item was subsequently deleted, or whether all 2692 requests failed for some reason.) I don’t know which bot that was – the current user is not part of the log events, and the requests don’t include assertuser in the request data – but that certainly looks suspect.

The next-most-common request data is for one Edwin M. Post, Jr., with 174 identical requests attempting to create an item for him.

Very odd.

Incubator bureaucrats may grant importer right so this may be unnecesary.

Another query that can not run:

I have reproduced this twice in WIkidata. Purge fixes it.

We also need to introduce some (internal) logs to track who is hitting the limit.

To prevent disrupting existing users and bots we should use 90/min unless there are enough evidence that this is not enough and a lower rate will be helpful.

Wikidata datamodel allows breaking change without touching existing data, as the internal representation of entities is not a stable interface. Changing a site ID actually does not require any change of existing entities in database (only need to map deprecated language code to newer ones and stop using them for newer edits).

See https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Limits_to_configuration_changes#Changes_that_are_likely_to_be_declined - some groups may be not necessary and users should be encouraged to request adminship instead.

In this case you should consider string and external ID as the same, or alternatively use the value type instead of data type.

Another idea is to allow user to reclaim Qids that are never used. Don't know how bad it is.

Yes, this is the feature I request. The protected page titles containing private information or defamatory material should be hidden up from general view.

Is it possible that hide up the entries on Special:ProtectedTitles while suppressing the relevant log entries on protection log?

No, there is always a list of the pages that cannot be created. You can suppress the protection log entry, but Special:ProtectedTitles will still list the pages. Perhaps consider using a private abuse filter to restrict creation? Suggest declining

Wikidata item talk pages are movable, as are EntitySchema talk pages.

User should still be able to select a property with unsupported datatypes. The difference should be user may not specify a value.

At least the right to create portal should be restricted.
