LinguaLibre:User rights

Each mediawiki as build in groups such as users, autopatrolled, admin, etc, which have specific user rights allowing actions associated with a ratelimit defining the number of times this action is allowed within a time period. LinguaLibre.org is mainly a Wiki for documentation together with a client-side audio recording app, which mainly involved simple accounts creations and textual edits. Wikimedia Commons, which is the storage website via its programmatic API, is the actual limiting element in our audio uploading chain. If user rights are an issue, it is likely the case on Wikimedia Commons given the uploader's account and user rights there. Below are some elements to better understand your proper situation.
