How we will see unregistered users

MediaWiki message delivery (talkcontribs)

Hi!

You get this message because you are an admin on a Wikimedia wiki.

When someone edits a Wikimedia wiki without being logged in today, we show their IP address. As you may already know, we will not be able to do this in the future. This is a decision by the Wikimedia Foundation Legal department, because norms and regulations for privacy online have changed.

Instead of the IP we will show a masked identity. You as an admin will still be able to access the IP. There will also be a new user right for those who need to see the full IPs of unregistered users to fight vandalism, harassment and spam without being admins. Patrollers will also see part of the IP even without this user right. We are also working on better tools to help.

If you have not seen it before, you can read more on Meta. If you want to make sure you don’t miss technical changes on the Wikimedia wikis, you can subscribe to the weekly technical newsletter.

We have two suggested ways this identity could work. We would appreciate your feedback on which way you think would work best for you and your wiki, now and in the future. You can let us know on the talk page. You can write in your language. The suggestions were posted in October and we will decide after 17 January.

Thank you. /Johan (WMF)

eliminaron mi página ¿por qué?

It is completely out of scope for this project and most others. Wikimedia projects are not webhosts.

Actor table deletion

Hi, Why do you feel that the actor table doesn't belong in the list of database tables that can be shared between wikis? It is included in the manual page that discusses sharing as a table to be shared in newer versions Manual:Shared database#The simplest setup: A shared user table. I share this table in the corporate wiki farm that I manage.

Thanks,

Nate

Mediawiki is not a content Wiki, it's out of scope.

No, this is for Wikimedia documentation, not your daily writings.
