Dear all, I was just pinged by a Wikidata hackathon in Suriname (cf. https://www.spangmakandra.com/big-data-seminar-suriname ) that they can't edit Wikidata any more - see also https://twitter.com/twitferry/status/851907389087502338 . We are musing that this may be due to an IP ban, since more than six new accounts were registered from the same IP (186.179.xxx.xx). Can anyone help sort this out quickly, so that the event can move on? Thanks, Daniel
Hi Daniel, The usual procedure is explained here: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mass_account_creation https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Mass_account_creation https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Learning_patterns/Six-account_limit
Normally to request a temporary lift of the IP cap, they should file a task as explained on that page. There are some quick workarounds, like creating accounts with smartphones.
Cheers, Micru

Alternatively if someone is an admin or otherwise has account creator rights, they can create accounts for others with an email address.

Experienced wikimedians who supervise hackathons (and are not admins) may want to request to become an "Account creator".
I don't see that it is possible to get that role on Wikidata (https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Requests_for_permissions), so I suppose that one needs to inquire on the Wikipedia of ones preferred language.
