Edição de IP: recurso de aprimoramento de privacidade e mitigação de abuso/informações de IP

This page is a translated version of the page Trust and Safety Product/IP Info and the translation is 9% complete.
Outdated translations are marked like this.

IP Info is available for some logged-in users. It is displayed in a box on the Special:Contributions page of unregistered editors. An abridged version is accessible via a popup on log, history, and recent changes pages.

Nosso objetivo é facilitar o acesso de administradores, combatentes anti-vandalismo e usuários avançados a informações sobre endereços IP.

Muitos trabalhos antivandalismo nas wikis dependem fortemente de informações reveladas por endereços IP. Essas informações podem afetar a maneira como um editor interage com um usuário não registrado. No momento, obter e entender essas informações não é uma tarefa fácil.

Este projeto é um passo para melhorar o suporte para as forças-tarefas anti-vandalismo. Esperamos que seja muito útil à medida que avançamos no projeto IP Masking.

There is a legal policy regulating how this tool may be used. As a condition of access, users must agree to the that policy.

This information doesn't reflect the current settings but will soon be correct (T375086).

For detailed information on who has access, see Access to Temporary Account IP Addresses Policy.

IP reveal log

A log is kept of queries made using the IP Information tool and how the information was accessed. Access to this log is limited to Foundation staff and certain advanced user groups. The following is an example of what is logged:

  • 10 May 2022 User:A viewed limited IP Information popup for 1.1.1.1
  • 10 May 2022 User:B viewed full IP Information popup for 2.2.2.2
  • 10 May 2022 User:C viewed limited IP Information infobox for 3.3.3.3
  • 10 May 2022 User:D viewed full IP Information infobox for 4.4.4.4

Information available

Please note that IP information is not guaranteed to be correct. It is for the most part based on the relevant IP information provider's own good faith efforts to identify and classify activity (from these IP addresses / IP address ranges) which it has observed across the wider Internet.

Updates

: Functionality changes and graduating the feature out of beta

IP info became available on all wikis as a beta feature in 2022. Since then, it has gone through a lot of changes:

  • Spur as an additional data source. Initially, data about IP addresses was mostly coming from Maxmind, and was supplemented by our own on-wiki data. In the previous update from May 2022, we mentioned that we were contacting Spur, another source of information about IP addresses. Since then, we have integrated their data into IP Info, and currently, our feature uses Maxmind, Spur, and on-wiki information. For a detailed description on what data comes from which source, see T341395.
  • A lot of development was part of our broader work on temporary accounts (T340895). Here is an overview of the most important changes:
    • Full or no information. There have been two levels of access to the IP Info data: Basic and Advanced. We have decided to align this with the settings making it possible for experienced users to see IP addresses of temporary accounts. Everyone meeting the requirements defined in the Access to Temporary Account IP Addresses Policy will have full access to the IP Info data, and those not meeting the requirements will simply not have access to IP info. (T375086)
    • Special:IPInfo. Many IP addresses may be associated with a given temporary account. We are building a new special page to address this. It will show tabulated IP data for a temporary user where each row will display information for an IP address. This page will be linked from the the Contributions page. (T349534)
    • IP Info on Special:Contributions for temporary accounts. When viewing Special:Contributions for a temporary account, users with access to IP Info data will have information about the IP address used most recently by the temporary account. (T349715)
    • The IP Info popup is displayed next to IP addresses. On wikis with temporary accounts enabled, the IP Info popup will be displayed also next to temporary account names. (T349716) In the popup, a help link will be displayed to help users understand better what the feature is and what it offers exactly. Most likely, the project page will be linked there. (T375090)
  • Graduating out of beta. We no longer need to keep IP Info as a beta feature and have decided to make it a regular part of the interface. It will be useful for all logged-in users checking IP address data to moderate and maintain the wiki. (T356660)

Background

Problem and solution

Atualmente, quando nossos editores desejam obter informações sobre um endereço IP, às vezes eles precisam consultar sites externos e proprietários para obter essas informações. Muitas vezes eles precisam consultar mais de um site para cruzar os dados ou obter todas as diferentes informações de que precisam para realizar seu trabalho. Isso significa que muitas vezes um editor gastaria muito tempo e energia procurando os dados que deseja ver. Ouvimos muito sobre esses problemas quando perguntamos aos usuários sobre seus trabalhos na página de discussão do projeto.

A ideia central é incorporar esses dados nas wikis da Wikimedia de forma que possamos fornecer todas as informações que um editor precisa internamente sem que eles precisem ir a sites externos para obter a informação. Isso incluiria informações como:

  • Informações de localização de alto nível sobre um endereço IP
  • Proprietário do endereço IP
  • Se o endereço IP é um proxy ou Tor
  • Se o endereço IP é considerado malicioso por outros sites

Benefits and risks

Expand to read 

Benefits

  • Patrulhamento mais fácil': Isso eliminaria a necessidade dos usuários copiarem e colarem endereços IP em ferramentas externas e extrair as informações de que precisam, levando a menos trabalho manual.
  • Patrulhamento mais rápido': Economizará o tempo dos editores, fornecendo a eles as informações de que precisam prontamente na interface.
  • Maior confiabilidade': A WMF pode contratar sites que oferecem conjuntos de dados altamente confiáveis ​​que também são atualizados regularmente com traduções. Como este projeto será mantido pela Fundação, provavelmente será muito mais confiável do que alguns sites dos quais nossos usuários dependem atualmente.
  • Barreiras técnicas mais baixas': Facilitaria a entrada de novos administradores e verificadores sem a necessidade de ter um bom entendimento de como extrair informações de endereços IP. Isso potencialmente levaria a mais usuários minoritários em funções de poder a longo prazo.

Risks

Risco de privacidade': Nem todos na internet estão cientes do que um endereço IP revela. Isso significa que usuários não registrados geralmente fazem edições sem saber que estão deixando uma impressão digital que pode ser usada para rastreá-los. Da mesma forma, muitos editores também não sabem disso. Isso leva à privacidade não intencional para usuários não registrados (Segurança por obscuridade). Dependendo de quem consegue ver as informações expostas por esse recurso, há um risco real de que mais usuários vejam os dados do que antes.

How do the communities use IP address information?

Anti-vandalism

'Ver também: Pesquisa:Patrulhando na Wikipédia/Relatório

Single-address blocks bar a single IP address from editing. Administrators can also block IP ranges. This is helpful for dynamic IPs or covering a small range often used for vandalism. To assess collateral damage, administrators should check the coverage of ranges they intend to block.

How administrators handle certain IP blocks depends on the type of address. For example, they handle an edit from an IP address coming from a residential area differently to an edit from an IP registered to a government. If an IP address is registered to a school or a university, administrators apply dedicated templates. If the institution was blocked before, they instruct how to contact them. Then, they help the institution get around the block. These templates can also be used pre-emptively. The goal may be to clear up potential confusion at receiving messages not meant for the user. Another goal may be to point to features only available to registered users.

The IP blocking workflow relies on some IP information. This usually is the registered organization, geographic location, and autonomous system number. This information comes from third-party IP information providers, with no standard service. There are different degrees of accuracy and reliability.

IP addresses are also used in AbuseFilter to make very specific blocks. The goal is highlight some abuse without disrupting the experience of regular users.

IP information is also used by CheckUsers. In particular, they use it whe they deal with alternate account abuse (sockpuppeting). Their tools allow access to potentially-identifying information tied to accounts. These usually do not have their IP addresses exposed.

Anonymity and anonymous editing

Researchers have attempted to determine the effects of unregistered editing on the projects. They have focused on links between anonymity and vandalism. In principle, unregistered users make large portions of constructive edits. A 2013 study noted that about 100,000 anonymous editors made roughly a third of the edits counted in that month. A 2016 study showed that unregistered users "contribute substantially to overall productivity".

No project has disallowed all unregistered user edits. But unregistered users are restricted in what types of contributions they can make. For example, they cannot start new articles or upload files on most of our projects. What's more, there is no guarantee that the person behind a given IP address will be the same every time. This makes it difficult for unregistered users to communicate. It also prevents them from joining their wikis' communities.

Research

A pesquisa na Wikipédia às vezes usa endereços IP, conforme exposto nos resumos de edição, para obter informações sobre as práticas de edição dos usuários em uma determinada área geográfica. Os pesquisadores geralmente usam apenas informações agregadas de IPs.
