Hi! Currently $wgAccountCreationThrottle (http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgAccountCreationThrottle) works only with memcached. Do we want to make it work with other cache systems? If yes: I have modified my private MediaWiki to have it work with APC cache as well. My modification is explained at http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual_talk:$wgAccountCreationThrottle but I can submit a patch if needed.
I'm slightly confused. Although it says "Requires memcached" in the config, the code shows a slightly different situation. $wgMemc isn't actually always an object to interact with Memcached, it can be other types.. As long as you have set $wgMainCacheType correctly, it should be able to use that to cache...
Ah... Hmm yes it does work without any modification... Given its name, I had the feeling that $wgMemc was only for Memcached (there is no http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgMemc ) Then maybe just update the documentation, thanks :-)
