FWIW, I set IP block exempt on Jake's account a few years ago, but to my frustration it looks like someone removed it because of inactivity.
(Editorializing a bit, I don't see much value in the removal; while it is true that an inactive user's account could be broken into, the permission extends to a single account, which can be blocked like any other if it starts to act unproductively.) -Kat On Mon, Dec 30, 2013 at 2:01 PM, John <[email protected]> wrote: > Editing via tor is possible on WMF wikis if the account / user is trusted > > On Monday, December 30, 2013, Thomas Gries wrote: > > > Hi, > > > > during the 30C3 Congress [1] in Hamburg - where neither Wikipedia > > Foundation nor MediaWiki were formally present this year (but should be > > next year)- > > Jacob Appelbaum [2] - core member of the TOR project - complained in one > > of his numerous talks that the (edit) access to Wikipedia via TOR is not > > possible. > > > > He requested that a way should be found to enable the TOR access > > including edit access to Wikipedia. > > > > I am just the messenger of this message. > > > > Regards, > > Tom > > > > [1] https://events.ccc.de/congress/2013/wiki/ > > [2] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacob_Appelbaum > > > > _______________________________________________ > > Wikitech-l mailing list > > [email protected] <javascript:;> > > https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l > _______________________________________________ > Wikitech-l mailing list > [email protected] > https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l > -- Your donations keep Wikipedia free: https://donate.wikimedia.org _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
