But IP users don't have to edit whilst they are logged out/accountless/"a ip user"/etc which results in their IP address not being recorded in any easily accessable medium (eg: checkuser), where as once a user is registered it is recorded and some what easier to access (for example again, checkuser). (that is, unless you enjoy looking up the server logs) This should be included in a message on the page clearly explaining that it [the ip address] is released to other individuals once the form is submitted and can be avoided by registering, Like it is when you go to edit as a non logged in individual user. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
