[07:06:27] I've just opened five Special:Emailuser dialogues because I'd like to send emails to five users. However, I can't send a single one because I'm now getting a "As an anti-abuse measure, you are limited from performing this action too many times in a short space of time, and you have exceeded this limit" error message. Is it really intentional that people get such an error even though they haven't sent a single email yet? [07:21:57] no... [07:22:46] I think I found the bug [07:23:37] pajz: could you file a bug in phab for this please? [07:27:34] I suppose I can try. [07:34:25] legoktm, https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T177575 [07:35:40] thanks :) [07:39:38] pajz: as a work around for now, you could send the emails from a wiki where you're an admin and therefore exempt from rate limits? [07:44:26] legoktm, hm, how long does it take until I can use the feature again (on the Wiki where the "abuse filter" was triggered)? [07:45:31] 5 per day for non-autoconfirmed, 20 per day for autoconfirmed users [07:45:51] (also it's a rate limit, not an abuse filter) [15:48:56] The folks over at English Wikivoyage would really appreciate some help with this site configuration change. Is anyone around to help with some guidance? https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T176647 [15:51:54] "restrict certain file type uploads" that is ^^ [16:54:22] CKoerner_WMF: i volunteered on the task, but it seems i didn't know what i was getting myself into. i'm trying to find out and document how we decide which extensions are allowed and wow, is that stuff crazy. it seems that removing some audio and video types from that list is not trivial :D [16:54:58] I'm sorry to hear that, but thank you for your help. [16:55:30] Is this possibly one reason why Abusefilters are used instead of configuration changes like this? [17:00:18] CKoerner_WMF: possibly. but it's generally easier for wiki admins to use abusefilters, since they don't have to ask anyone to deploy confgiuration changes [17:28:05] asking for a configuration change is also complex in showing that there was consensus, etc. [17:28:27] if you see in commons, the pdf extension is hidden from the list of available uploads [17:28:36] not for any technical means [17:28:58] but it's enough to stop many people that eg. attempt to upload an article as pdf [17:30:11] yeah, Commons hides in it one of the on-wiki scripts. that is really dumb and confused me for a while. [18:14:25] MatmaRex: You are a gentleman and a scholar. Thank you for your help. [18:20:51] first time I've seen him called that :p [18:22:42] CKoerner_WMF: thanks. also, i just noticed we have a "Goat" token on Phabricator :o [18:27:59] Goatification FTW. [19:06:49] ebernhardson: is avro-php something you're maintaining? it's failing PHP 7 tests: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T177273 [19:07:25] legoktm: its just an import of the upstream into a composer package, because upstream doesn't maintain one [19:07:42] https://github.com/apache/avro/blob/master/lang/php/lib/avro.php [19:08:32] so it's probably likely that upstream is not php 7 compatible either? it looks pretty untouched [19:08:55] we could probably update it and note that it's now a fork instead of just a package [19:10:11] can I leave that up to you? :) [19:10:15] :P i guess
