(But that still leaves the problem that it looks like a registered edit to the client wiki when it really isn’t, which IIUC was the main argument against just letting temporary accounts be shared via CentralAuth like they used to.) FWIW, we explored assigning actions to system users in T353953 <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T353953> and T334623 <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T334623> but came across problems with assigning many actions by many users to a single system user (which I think is unprecedented, but I'm happy to be corrected), e.g. when performing CheckUser checks. Just mentioning to highlight that we've had similar problems of who to attribute an action to in other places. > Comparing these two alternatives, I wonder if we should just enable IP Masking on Wikidata last of all wikis, so that the first set of problems never applies… Thanks for sharing this analysis. We're looking into some rollout options, but I don't think we have any opposition to Wikidata being last. Pinging @Niharika and @Madalina in case they disagree. The only opposing argument I'd heard was from the mobile apps team, where I believe attribution becomes more complicated if the client wiki has temp accounts but the Wikidata doesn't (I'm hazy on the details), so we were hearing the opposite request: for Wikidata to be among the pilot wikis. However I've spoken with @JTannerWMF and my understanding is that they can work with Wikidata being rolled out to last.
