Description Kunal Mehta (Legoktm) 2014-01-25 07:46:20 UTC

foreach( array( 'actcreate', 'edit', 'move', 'mailpassword', 'emailuser' ) as $type ) {


According to my quick check of User::pingLimiter, there are also:

linkpurge
rollback
renderfile

And in extensions:

moodbar-response
moodbar-feedback
pagetriage-mark-action
pagetriage-tagging-action
feedback (ReaderFeedback)
thanks-notification
create (used in Wikibase)

I don't think it makes sense to expose some of these in the UI, but I'm not sure if we should totally ignore them either.

Comment 1 Kunal Mehta (Legoktm) 2014-01-25 18:36:10 UTC

I thought about this a bit more, and realized that the rationale in bug 25000 is only about account creation. 
What if we had a config variable like $wgThrottlesToOverride = array( 'actcreate' ) so they wouldn't need to be hardcoded, and the UI would become less cluttered (IMO). 
It would also solve the issue of not being able to override extensions' throttles.
