[15:50:01] <mutante>	 a user describes getting 429s when _creating accounts_ on a cluster wiki. that then "work again after a few hours". sounds like their IP got throttled, doesn't it?   next ask them to provide their IP in private?
[15:52:41] <rzl>	 mutante: yeah, account creation is limited to six per 24h, that's intended: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mass_account_creation
[15:53:19] <rzl>	 if they need an exemption because they have a legit reason to do that, they should request it onwiki as described there
[15:53:31] <mutante>	 rzl: ACK, thanks. so my next question is "why do you create many accounts"
[15:53:41] <mutante>	 but I think it's because it's the VRT wiki
[15:53:50] <mutante>	 and stewards creating users for others or so
[15:54:22] <mutante>	 thanks for the link. nod
[15:55:01] <rzl>	 (we're in a team meeting rn so if you need more we'll get back to you in a bit)
[15:56:03] <taavi>	 mutante: a mediawiki error page 429 or a cdn-level 429?
[15:58:48] <mutante>	 taavi: cdn-level afaict. "Our servers are currently under maintenance or experiencing a technical problem." with a cp host and varnish XID on it
[16:03:45] <taavi>	 that sounds like a false positive from a requestctl rule. the intentional mediawiki limit would give a different error page
[16:06:06] <mutante>	 in that case.. I would be back to asking for their IP

[16:06:21] <mutante>	 i had edited the tags a bit 
[16:06:38] <mutante>	 we were tagged first because of the string "VRT" but it's VRT wiki, not VRTS system
