Urbanecm added a comment. IIRC QuickStatements do not work with newbie accounts. It is currently not possible to change the newbie limit based on IP address (there's no proces for it). You can use Administrators' noticeboard to request things from admins. If your users will have an account before the event, adding any throttle rule would be useless, as it affect only account creation phase. Please let me know if you need the throttle rule.TASK DETAILhttps://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T208236EMAIL PREFERENCEShttps://phabricator.wikimedia.org/settings/panel/emailpreferences/To: UrbanecmCc: gerritbot, Urbanecm, Dereckson, Platonides, Aklapper, Stinglehammer, CucyNoiD, Nandana, NebulousIris, Gaboe420, Versusxo, Majesticalreaper22, Giuliamocci, Adrian1985, Cpaulf30, Lahi, Gq86, Baloch007, Darkminds3113, Bsandipan, Lordiis, GoranSMilovanovic, Adik2382, Jayprakash12345, Th3d3v1ls, Ramalepe, Liugev6, QZanden, Zoranzoki21, LawExplorer, Lewizho99, Maathavan, DatGuy, Devwaker, Niklitov, JEumerus, Tulsi_Bhagat, Wong128hk, Luke081515, SimmeD, Wikidata-bugs, Snowolf, aude, Dcljr, Jdforrester-WMF, Matanya, Mbch331, Rxy, Jay8g, Krenair___ Wikidata-bugs mailing list Wikidata-bugs@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikidata-bugs

Stinglehammer added a comment. In T208236#4706618, @Urbanecm wrote: BTW, we can only allow your participants to create 20 accounts from one IP address (cirumcimvent the six account limit). They will be still counted as newbie and will hit any newbie limits (8 edits per minute from one IP, counting all newbies from that IP together). If you want the software to stop applying newbie limits to some user, you can manually add "confirmed" flag to the users (any sysop can do it). There are efforts to change this behaiviour, but this is how it is now. Great thanks. If I want these new accounts to work with Quickstatements by way of a facilitated demo then I think we may want the newb limit lifted if possible. If the users create accounts tonight/tomorrow can I message a sysops on Wikidata project chat (or wikimedia-tech page) to see about getting these user accounts confirmed?TASK DETAILhttps://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T208236EMAIL PREFERENCEShttps://phabricator.wikimedia.org/settings/panel/emailpreferences/To: Urbanecm, StinglehammerCc: gerritbot, Urbanecm, Dereckson, Platonides, Aklapper, Stinglehammer, CucyNoiD, Nandana, NebulousIris, Gaboe420, Versusxo, Majesticalreaper22, Giuliamocci, Adrian1985, Cpaulf30, Lahi, Gq86, Baloch007, Darkminds3113, Bsandipan, Lordiis, GoranSMilovanovic, Adik2382, Jayprakash12345, Th3d3v1ls, Ramalepe, Liugev6, QZanden, Zoranzoki21, LawExplorer, Lewizho99, Maathavan, DatGuy, Devwaker, Niklitov, JEumerus, Tulsi_Bhagat, Wong128hk, Luke081515, SimmeD, Wikidata-bugs, Snowolf, aude, Dcljr, Jdforrester-WMF, Matanya, Mbch331, Rxy, Jay8g, Krenair___ Wikidata-bugs mailing list Wikidata-bugs@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikidata-bugs
