Hi!
If I read this correctly, user scripts/gadgets such as this one https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Dragoniez/MarkBLockedGlobal, which marks users that are globally blocked/locked, are also affected. This one (and others I am sure) can generate quite a lot of requests. None of the proposed solutions seem suitable to help with that. What can be done? Is proxying those requests through a toolforge webservice, which requires quite a bit of development effort, the only option?
Best regards,
