[09:13:59] <RichardNevell>	 Hi folks, is anyone able to help lift an account registration cap on the English Wikipedia?
[09:14:10] <RichardNevell>	 Details here: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T152669
[09:14:15] <RichardNevell>	 Sorry for the short notice!
[09:16:47] <stemoc>	 is that even possible?
[09:18:27] <andre__>	 Yes.
[09:18:39] <Urbanecm>	 RichardNevell, I'm working at it, I've uploaded a patch and finding someone for deployment. 
[09:18:39] <andre__>	 (Possible. Not that I could quickly do it though.)
[09:18:48] <Urbanecm>	 andre__, have you deploy access?
[09:18:58] <andre__>	 I don't have, sorry
[09:19:16] <Urbanecm>	 Okay. Patch is uploaded, https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/325899, finding someone for deployment... 
[09:20:14] <andre__>	 Urbanecm: I will also ask the Release Engineering folks
[09:20:26] <RichardNevell>	 Thank you Urbanecm
[09:20:39] <Urbanecm>	 andre__, okay, I asked at -operations
[09:20:42] <Urbanecm>	 RichardNevell, you're welcome. 
[09:20:59] <legoktm>	 I'm looking
[09:21:27] <Urbanecm>	 legoktm, thanks. 
[09:21:30] <andre__>	 oh! thanks!
[09:21:33] <legoktm>	 RichardNevell: please review https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mass_account_creation#Requesting_temporary_lift_of_IP_cap for the future
[09:21:44] <Urbanecm>	 legoktm, I don't understand your question. 
[09:21:51] <Urbanecm>	 How do you mean, why is the T there?
[09:21:58] <Urbanecm>	 The T is at every other rule...
[09:22:24] <legoktm>	 one of your timestamps has a T, the other doesn't
[09:22:30] <legoktm>	 	'from' => '2016-12-08T08:00 -0:00',
[09:22:30] <legoktm>	 	'to' => '2016-12-09:08:00 -0:00',
[09:22:46] <legoktm>	 anyways, I'm fixing
[09:22:58] <legoktm>	 RichardNevell: are you sure it's only one IP address for hte entire event?
[09:23:15] <RichardNevell>	 I think so but let me double check
[09:23:21] <stemoc>	 is the IP static RichardNevell ?
[09:23:27] <Urbanecm>	 legoktm, you don't have to fix it. I already did it. 
[09:23:36] <stemoc>	 132.185.0.0/16 < range
[09:24:02] <Urbanecm>	 stemoc, you mean there should be whole range?
[09:24:29] <stemoc>	 i was asking richard if there was.
[09:24:38] <Urbanecm>	 stemoc, okay. 
[09:24:41] <stemoc>	 surely its the BBC, can't just be one static IP.
[09:24:47] <Urbanecm>	 Let's wait for RichardNevell 
[09:25:04] <legoktm>	 stemoc: alternatively, it's the BBC and they only use one static IP ;)
[09:25:13] <stemoc>	 XD
[09:25:33] <RichardNevell>	 So we're using the BBC's guest network for people at the event which means it *should* be a single static IP.
[09:25:38] <legoktm>	 anyways, I'll sync it out once we have confirmation on the IP
[09:25:39] <legoktm>	 alright
[09:25:40] <RichardNevell>	 I am crossing my fingers a bit
[09:25:50] <legoktm>	 if it doesn't work, you can use the other workarounds
[09:25:59] <RichardNevell>	 I'm an account creator so tht help
[09:26:05] <Urbanecm>	 legoktm, are you going to deploy it?
[09:26:24] <Urbanecm>	 RichardNevell, that's good. In the worst case you can create the accounts.
[09:26:43] <legoktm>	 Urbanecm: yes
[09:27:07] <Urbanecm>	 Okay, thank you legoktm 
[09:30:17] <legoktm>	 RichardNevell: try now please
[09:32:18] <RichardNevell>	 It works!
[09:32:31] <RichardNevell>	 Thank you so much, that's going to make our lives easier at the event
[09:32:35] <Urbanecm>	 RichardNevell, that's great! 
[09:34:47] <Urbanecm>	 In any future request like this please give us AT LEAST a week. 
[13:21:56] <RichardNevell>	 Hello folks, we've just reached a ceiling of 60 new accoutns at the BBC event (IP132.185.153.3 - related PHab at https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T152669). Any chance of moving the limit to 300? That should be comfortably enough
[21:30:56] <Matthew_>	 andre__: I am acknowledging your email, and I will take action on it this evening local.
[21:32:27] <andre__>	 Matthew_: heh, thanks :)
[21:32:36] <andre__>	 not too urgent, just a long term thingy :)
[21:32:49] <Matthew_>	 Understood.  I didn't realize it was that much of a performance impact.  
[21:32:58] <Krenair>	 this about herald rules?
[21:33:14] <Matthew_>	 Krenair: Yes.  I had auto-subscription rules.  
[21:34:06] <andre__>	 I've been taking a look at T141703 tonight, basically
[21:34:07] <stashbot>	 T141703: Review and consolidate current Herald rules - https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T141703
[21:34:28] <andre__>	 and asking people to archive ""when project is X, add rule author as subscriber"" and watch the project(s) instead
[21:39:24] <Krenair>	 woah, that diff
[21:39:30] <Krenair>	 I ticked a couple of boxes but the diff shows a ton of change
[21:41:34] <andre__>	 I just updated all of it. :P
[21:41:53] <andre__>	 The original assignee seems to be less active so I might take this over...
[21:43:05] <Krenair>	 I got rid of a couple of mine
[21:54:21] <andre__>	 thanks!
