[02:59:17] <jfolv>	 I feel like I know the answer to this, but is it possible to rate limit the API but not regular editing?
[03:00:31] <jfolv>	 We had an incident where someone wrote a script to use the API for unsanctioned mass editing. We got lucky in that he was acting in good faith, but we're keen on setting some API limits. I don't want to deny writeapi to *, because that breaks AWB for some reason.
[03:04:30] <bawolff>	 You can, but its generally not a great idea because its really easy for bad faith people to just script the web interface, and then its harder to track them
[03:04:59] <bawolff>	 But if you want, you can do something like if ( defined( 'MW_API' ) ) { $wgRateLimits ... }
[03:14:40] <jfolv>	 I hadn't thought of that. Good point.
[03:19:52] <jfolv>	 Thanks for that, we're just going to discuss edit limits as a whole.
[03:20:13] <jfolv>	 Rather be safe than sorry.
[19:16:51] <jfolv>	 Is there a reliable way to regenerate broken thumbnails? I tried using rebuildImages.php, and setting the $wgThumbnailEpoch just destroys site performance due to our size and traffic.
[19:17:18] <jfolv>	 We ended up with some busted ones because our image disk ran out of space, and it wasn't caught for an hour or so.
[19:19:06] <jfolv>	 Speaking of, is there a good way to prune outdated images? We're at over 400GB.
