isLimitable()

MediaWiki\Permissions\RateLimiter::isLimitable

(

$action

)

Checks whether the given action may be limited.

Can be used for optimization, to avoid calling limit() if we can know in advance that no limit will apply.

Parameters

string

$action

Returns

bool

Definition at line 143 of file RateLimiter.php.

limit()

MediaWiki\Permissions\RateLimiter::limit	(	RateLimitSubject	$subject,
		string	$action,
		int	$incrBy = 1 )

Implements simple rate limits: enforce maximum actions per time period to put a brake on flooding.

Note

This method will always return false for any action listed in $this->nonLimitableActions. This allows rate limit checks to be bypassed for certain actions to avoid overhead and improve performance.

Parameters

RateLimitSubject	$subject	The subject of the rate limit, representing the client performing the action.
string	$action	Action to enforce
int	$incrBy	Positive amount to increment counter by, 1 by default. Use 0 to check the limit without bumping the counter.

Returns

bool True if a rate limit was exceeded.
