This is not something simple to do technically.
When someone edits without being logged in, automatically log them in under a newly created username "X.Y.Z.xxx #N", where N is just the lowest number which creates a unique name. (Of course, if you're going to do that, just abandon the whole IP address thing altogether. When a user who is not logged in gets to the edit screen, there are two extra fields: username and password. Username is pre-filled with "Random User #NNNNNNNN", where NNNNNNNN is a random not-yet-used number.) _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
