There’s one more case I just thought of:
- If IP Masking is enabled on a client wiki but not on Wikidata: Suppose an
anonymous user makes an edit on Wikidata which affects a client wiki. The
Wikidata edit is made by an IP address, but it gets dispatched to a wiki where
IP addresses are no longer supposed to make edits. What happens?
- The answer, at least in local testing, seems to be that the IP address is
added to the client wiki’s recentchanges, without problem, even if it’s a brand
new IP address that wiki2 doesn’t have an actor ID for yet. So apparently this
still works just fine. It does mean that wikis can still have IP edits in their
recentchanges even if they have IP masking enabled, but I think that’s better
than any alternative in this scenario. (I was worried that the change
dispatching might crash with an error from “Cannot create an actor for an IP
user when temporary accounts are enabled”.)
