Experienced wikimedians who supervise hackathons (and are not admins)
may want to request to become an "Account creator".
I don't see that it is possible to get that role on Wikidata
(https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Requests_for_permissions),
so I suppose that one needs to inquire on the Wikipedia of ones
preferred language.

Alternatively if someone is an admin or otherwise has account creator
rights, they can create accounts for others with an email address.

Hi Daniel,
The usual procedure is explained here:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mass_account_creation
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Mass_account_creation
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Learning_patterns/Six-account_limit
Normally to request a temporary lift of the IP cap, they should file a
task as explained on that page. There are some quick workarounds, like
creating accounts with smartphones.
Cheers,
Micru

Dear all,
I was just pinged by a Wikidata hackathon in Suriname
(cf. https://www.spangmakandra.com/big-data-seminar-suriname
<https://www.spangmakandra.com/big-data-seminar-suriname> )
that they can't edit Wikidata any more - see also
https://twitter.com/twitferry/status/851907389087502338
<https://twitter.com/twitferry/status/851907389087502338> .
We are musing that this may be due to an IP ban, since more than six
new accounts were registered from the same IP (186.179.xxx.xx).
Can anyone help sort this out quickly, so that the event can move on?
Thanks,
Daniel
