I run Edit-a-Thons for my library. (User page SDPLPauline)
As per this [[https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mass_account_creation#Requesting_temporary_lift_of_IP_cap | wiki section ]],
it was recommended that I place a request for the following reasons:
1. To remove any potential account creation limit temporarily
2. To temporarily remove the IP Ban on our associated IP Addresses.
I believe the only IP that is currently blocked is the following:
137.164.0.0/16
For clarification, I believe the IP block was put in place not just because of some more mischievous patrons, but because we share a building with a high-school, though we are not a school library. Thus, I am only asking for a temporary unbanning. The details of this program are as follows:
Event time: Apr 24, 2023. From 6-8pm Pacific Time.
The IPs to allow: 137.164.0.0/16
The expected number of people to attend the event:5-10
