https://noc.wikimedia.org/conf/InitialiseSettings.php.txt under
'wgRateLimits' lists 8 edits per minute for a 'newbie' under 'edit'.

That link mentions "4 days to pass isNewbie()" as 'default'; plus a
'wgAutoConfirmCount' for 'wikidata' => 50

In general, a user could query their ratelimits via
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Userinfo

[Wikitech-l] Wikidata API rate limits for newbies

[Baskauf, Steven James]

I have a script for writing to the Wikidata API that respects the rate limit of 
50 edits per minute for bots without a bot flag. However, when that script was 
used by somebody else, she received the error "As an anti-abuse measure, you 
are limited from performing this action too many times in a short space of 
time, and you have exceeded this limit.\nPlease try again in a few minutes". I 
think it is because she is a "newbie" who is subjected to a slower rate (i.e. 
as in https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgRateLimits).

Questions:
1. Is there a newbie rate limit that is slower than the rate for "normal" 
registered users?
2. If so, what is that limit?
3. How many edits must a newbie user make before they are no longer considered 
a "newbie" (or is number of edits not the criterion for being considered a 
newbie)?

Thanks!
Steve Baskauf
