Description Nitika 2012-06-20 13:32:16 UTC 
The local community is conducting an outreach event at Delhi on June 23rd
This will include an intro wikipedia, an editing workshop and hands-on basic
editing. 


We are expecting about 30-40 people to attend.  One of the things we'd like to
do is encourage potential newbie participants to create their own usernames
during the session and learn editing by trying something similar there and
then.  

Can someone please remove rule of 7 username account creating in a 6 hour period for the following
IP address for 115.112.231.108 for the duration of the workshop (June 23rd
between 0430 - 1030 UTC.)

(Workship is for 3 hours but I'm requesting 6 hours just in case we are over
time or someone stays back to edit.

Hi,

This is not a simple change, is there any workaround for this? You could get account-creator bit on english wikipedia so that you can create any number of accounts you need.
Comment 2 Alex Monk 2012-06-20 14:43:06 UTC 
Correct me if I'm wrong, but yes it is a simple change: Gerrit change #12165
Comment 3 Alex Monk 2012-06-20 15:01:10 UTC 
Gerrit change #12183
Comment 4 Antoine "hashar" Musso (WMF) 2012-06-20 15:06:30 UTC 
I even rewrote the code that let us do it with https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/12185/

Still have to add this bug request in.
