When you're running an event, sometimes you want to help lots of people create accounts on Wikimedia sites.  To prevent spamming/vandalism, ordinarily there's a cap on the number of accounts that can be created from one IP address in a single day.  But there's a way to ask for a temporary removal of that restriction.  The Foundation's Maggie Dennis has written a quick HOWTO: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/How_to_request_lift_of_an_IP_cap and so please feel free to link to it in your outreach HOWTOs, event planning checklists, and so on.  Thanks, Maggie! -- Sumana Harihareswara Engineering Community Manager Wikimedia Foundation _______________________________________________ Wikimediaindia-l mailing list Wikimediaindia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org To unsubscribe from the list / change mailing preferences visit https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediaindia-l
