=== Diagnosis
- [x] identifying issue : it's a Commons API ratelimit rule for new users. They are limited to 380 uploads per 72mins.
- [x] documenting the issue : see [[ https://lingualibre.org/wiki/LinguaLibre:Ratelimit | LinguaLibre:Ratelimit ]] = [[ https://lingualibre.org/wiki/LinguaLibre:User_rights | LinguaLibre:User_rights ]]
- [x] documenting workaround : same page.
=== Human solution (not sustainable)
- [x] [ongoing] Mentor emerging communities better. Warn them about the 380 limit, mentor them to request higher rights on Commons.
=== Local solution
- [ ] Dev a ribon warning
- [ ] [optional] Dev error message handling.
