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

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
