How we will see unregistered users
editHi!
You get this message because you are an admin on a Wikimedia wiki.
When someone edits a Wikimedia wiki without being logged in today, we show their IP address. As you may already know, we will not be able to do this in the future. This is a decision by the Wikimedia Foundation Legal department, because norms and regulations for privacy online have changed.
Instead of the IP we will show a masked identity. You as an admin will still be able to access the IP. There will also be a new user right for those who need to see the full IPs of unregistered users to fight vandalism, harassment and spam without being admins. Patrollers will also see part of the IP even without this user right. We are also working on better tools to help.
If you have not seen it before, you can read more on Meta. If you want to make sure you don’t miss technical changes on the Wikimedia wikis, you can subscribe to the weekly technical newsletter.
We have two suggested ways this identity could work. We would appreciate your feedback on which way you think would work best for you and your wiki, now and in the future. You can let us know on the talk page. You can write in your language. The suggestions were posted in October and we will decide after 17 January.
Thank you. /Johan (WMF)

Semi-protection at Olin Corporation
editHey Scott, just noticed we protect-conflicted at Olin Corporation, it is my opinion that a one-year semi-protect in the first instance seems a bit excessive (hence why I opted for a one-month PC). That said, I'm not undoing your protection, just wanted to let you know my opinion. --qedk (t 愛 c) 12:55, 3 July 2023 (UTC)
- @QEDK: Yes, I fat fingered the button on Twinkle. Meant to apply PC instead of semi. I've changed it to 3 months of PC. -- Scott Burley (talk) 13:00, 3 July 2023 (UTC)
