I found a server replication lag of 6000 seconds at the moment and I found the same for the last few days. This prevents bot from editing at all. Should we anyway enable editing for this long timout e.g. for one per minute or every 5 minutes or should bot edits always be blocked if the dbreplag is to high. An other idea would be not to prevent bot edits but just wait this time for the next edit.
No, you should complain in #wikimedia-tech or on wikitech-l about the high
replag. If the replication lag is high, *bots should stop editing*, as this will allow the replag to decrease.
