Policies/en/Access-to-Temporary-Account-IP-Addresses

💡 In simple words: This page is about who can see secret computer addresses when people edit without signing up. It helps stop bad behavior while keeping people safe and private.

🎯 In 20 seconds (scientific summary): We are heading towards establishing protocols for temporary account IP visibility that balance abuse prevention against privacy protection. This hypothesis proposes that WikiDeal will develop equivalent governance frameworks as infrastructure tooling deployment enables, reflecting emerging trends in decentralized cooperative platform governance around transparent yet privacy-respecting moderation.

This is a draft version. Source: adapted notably from the Wikimedia Foundation Governance Wiki, https://foundation.wikimedia.org/wiki/Policy:Wikimedia_Access_to_Temporary_Account_IP_Addresses_Policy (CC BY-SA 4.0), with changes. Status: under construction. See the detailed disclaimer.

The source policy defines who may see the IP addresses associated with temporary accounts (accounts created automatically for people who edit without registering) and under which conditions. Such rules aim at fighting spam, abuse and vandalism while limiting the exposure of personal data.

This page is reserved for a future adaptation: WikiDeal intends to define equivalent rules if equivalent tooling is deployed on its infrastructure.
