Article limit

[mou7664]

Hello,

Would it be possible to up the limit to 60,000.
I am trying to create zims but they contain about 55K articles

Thank you,

This is a tricky issue to address. We want to avoid a so-called "slippery slope", where we bump the limit to 60k for your request, then someone comes along and says "Can we bump it to 75k? I have a list that contains about 68k articles...." and so on.

In general, we recommend using https://github.com/openzim/zim-requests for requests that don't fit in the "self service" WP1 model.

That said, this gives me an idea for a feature where, when a ZIM creation request is denied due to the article limit, the user can request a one time exception from administrators.

@kelson42 your thoughts?

Yes, there is a limit, which is already quite high. Therefore, this is normal that time to time people hit the limit.

Not convinced starting with exceptions is a promising.
