Perhaps we should enforce rate limits for edit and creation on wikidata. The entry in $wgRateLimits that affects edits on all sitesis currently:
'edit' => [ // 8 ed./min per each non-autoconfirmed, or group thereof from same IP 'ip' => [ 8, 60 ], 'newbie' => [ 8, 60 ], ],
so, for regular users (and bots), there is no limit on editing (and no separate limit is enforced on creation - core doesn't even check such a limit, but wikibase does).
I propose to change this for wikidata.org to the following:
'+wikidatawiki' => [ 'edit' => [ // 8 ed./min per each non-autoconfirmed, or group thereof from same IP 'ip' => [ 8, 60 ], 'newbie' => [ 8, 60 ], // 100 ed./min for regular users (including bots and sysops) 'user' => [ 100, 60 ], ], 'create' => [ // 4 creations/min per each non-autoconfirmed, or group thereof from same IP 'ip' => [ 4, 60 ], 'newbie' => [ 4, 60 ], // 10 creations/min for regular users (including bots and sysops) 'user' => [ 10, 60 ], ], ],A limit of 10 may be too restrictive though. Perhaps it would make sense to introduce separate rate limits for bots. But creating more than one item per second seems excessive in any case.
