--- Comment #23 from John Mark Vandenberg <[email protected]> 2011-10-06 03:34:23 UTC --- It is only edge cases which take a lot of time (like rambot), and the longer the query takes, the more difficult it would be to obtain the results via another approach. The vast majority of invocations are quick (a few seconds). If we are really worried about preventing these worse case queries, it should be disabled for users where subject user_editcount is 100,000 or more, and invokers don't have a new permission like noquerylimit (similar to noratelimit) which would be given to administrators and maybe rollbackers Any serious user wont be running these obscure queries unless they actually do want the results, and they are prepared to wait because the alternative is to step through 5000 edits at a time. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
