--- Comment #9 from Gerard Meijssen <[email protected]> --- Sorry John, it seems you do not understand the issues at all. oAuth authenticates, it makes it possible to edit from outside of Wikidata. oAuth will NEVER do anything but that. It does not flood, the external tools that make use of oAuth do. When items were created as part of the project to register deaths in 2014, there were only a few at a time anyway. The throttling you talk about has been build in the tools themselves and, they have nothing with oAuth to do. Thanks, GerardM -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
