dealing with bots
by Travis Derouin 18 Oct '07

18 Oct '07

Hi all, We had an outage yesterday, which was likely caused by a bot requesting about 25,000 requests in a 20 minute span during a normally heavy traffic period. Most of the requests didn't hit the cache, so our Apache servers got hammered, and our site went down, but our Squid server was fine. All of the requests came from the same IP range. Is there a common way to deal with bots like these, other than manually identifying them (usually when it's too late) and blocking them via iptables? Does Squid offer any throttling? Or are there any other options? Just curious. Thanks, Travis

Primary account for single user login
by Anon Sricharoenchai 16 Oct '07

16 Oct '07

According to the conflict resolution process, that the account with most edits is selected as a primary account for that username, this may sound reasonable for the username that is owned by the same person on all wikimedia sites. But the problem will come when the same username on those wikimedia sites is owned by different person and they are actively in used. The active account that has registered first (seniority rule) should rather be considered the primary account. Since, I think the person who register first should own that username on the unified wikimedia sites. Imagine, what if the wikimedia sites have been unified ever since the sites are first established long time ago (that their accounts have never been separated), the person who register first will own that username on all of the wikimedia sites. The person who come after will be unable to use the registered username, and have to choose their alternate username. This logic should also apply on current wikimedia sites, after it have been unified.

meta-data
by Jun liu 16 Oct '07

Hi, in my research,I just want to do some statistical analysis based on the page history and other related metadata (I do not really need to content of the pages). The whole database dump is really too big. is stub-meta-history.xml.gz the right file to download in this case. I tried to download some of the versions of the file. They are either very small in size or cannot be opened. Can you tell me which file should be downloaded. Thank you ____________________________________________________________________________________ Pinpoint customers who are looking for what you sell. http://searchmarketing.yahoo.com/

Hi, Take a look at rev 26770 at ApiEdit_Vodafone (http://svn.wikimedia.org/viewvc/mediawiki/branches/ApiEdit_Vodafone/inc ludes/api/ApiEditPage.php?view=markup&pathrev=26770 ), we've just included epWatch parameter.

Good point there. Maybe action=edit should have an epWatch parameter (set to either 0 or 1) that overrules everything. If epWatch isn't set, default behavior would be observed (i.e. watch if the prefs say so, else don't change the watch flag). If you want this done, though, contact the maintainer of the APIedit_vodafone branch. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.

Remote Loaders
by Minh Nguyen 16 Oct '07

16 Oct '07

Are remote loaders still of concern? There's a page at Meta [1] where users are supposed to report remote loaders, presumably so that they can be blocked. It comes with a warning not to report such sites to IRC or this mailing list, but it doesn't look like any of the sites on that list have been blocked in several months.
