It may or may not fall under the "accessing other systems without authorization" clause as the use you propose lies in an uncomfortably gray area of some laws. I have no /technical/ objection to it, provided that (a) you scan for proxies without attempting to breach security; (b) that you only do so in response to an edit and never preemptively and (c) that any test is very conservatively rate-limited (for instance, to no more than once per day per IP at the most). But, in addition to this, you'll need a specific okay from WMF Legal. -- Marc _______________________________________________ Labs-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/labs-l
