Description

Per [[Ticket:2009111310045971]], please increase the number of accounts able to be created ($wgAccountCreationThrottle) at eswiki from 193.147.239.254 ([[European_University_of_Madrid]]) during the week of November the 30, since they will be performing an activity called 'wikiweek' during which they expect many new accounts to be created.

This has been done in the past (look for 'Account creation throttle disabled for outreach event' on CommonSettings) but seems that the origin ip wasn't taken into account.

Version: unspecified
Severity: normal

The code to add after $wgSquidServersNoPurge is set would be like this:

if ( $wgDBname == 'eswiki' ) {

Account creation throttle disabled for wikiweek at [[European_University_of_Madrid]] (bug 21510) if ( time() > strtotime( '2009-11-30T08:00 +1:00' ) && time() < strtotime( '2009-12-06T23:00 +1:00' ) ) && wfGetIP() == '193.147.239.254' ) { $wgAccountCreationThrottle = 300; }

}

Done.
