--- Comment #6 from MZMcBride <[email protected]> --- (In reply to comment #3) > We dequeue Parsoid jobs in a throttled manner to avoid overloading the API > during edit spikes. This means that abnormal edit rates especially to > templates can create a large backlog of jobs in the Parsoid queue. Where does Parsoid fit in to the general MediaWiki ecosystem? Are Parsoid jobs generated on every edit? If so, why? My understanding is that Parsoid is related to VisualEditor, so I have difficultly understanding how millions of Parsoid jobs would be queued unless they were all related to VisualEditor usage. > The main issue seems to be MZMcBride's null editing at a rate way beyond even > bot edit limits. What's a bot edit limit? > Do we have a product for DoS attack detection and -mitigation? DoS attack? I think it makes sense for all of us to focus on why and how Parsoid is flooding the global job queue. Suggesting anyone was performing a denial-of-service attack is both inappropriate and unhelpful. There are a number of anti-abuse measures built in to MediaWiki, to answer your question generally. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
