[edit] Details

Simple rate limiter options to brake edit floods. Maximum number of actions allowed in the given number of seconds; after that the violating client receives HTTP 500 error pages until the period elapses.

e.g.

array( 4, 60 ) for a maximum of 4 hits in 60 seconds.

This option requires memcached (see bug 20595). Also, note that it is experimental and likely to change.

[edit] Default value

array(
    'edit' => array(
        'anon'   => null, // for any and all anonymous edits (aggregate)
        'user'   => null, // for each logged-in user
        'newbie' => null, // for each recent account; overrides 'user'
        'ip'     => null, // for each anon and recent account
        'subnet' => null, // ... with final octet removed
    ),
    'move' => array(
        'user'   => null,
        'newbie' => null,
        'ip'     => null,
        'subnet' => null,
    ),
    'mailpassword' => array(
         'anon' => NULL,
    ),
    'emailuser' => array(
         'user' => null,

);
