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,

Count Count
