Mars icecream 57 Share Posted May 27, 2016 Warning: You are not logged in. Your IP address will be publicly visible if you make any edits. If you log in or create an account, your edits will be attributed to your username, along with other benefits. I don't know why the IP address of an anonymous article editor has to be publicly visible. My IP is surely saved in the history of dozens articles as I wasn't able to edit articles when signed in the past: http://community.pcgamingwiki.com/topic/1166-when-signed-in-i-only-see-blank-pages/ If I PM the moderators my IP address, can it be scraped from the site and replaced with my username?

Garrett 214 Share Posted May 27, 2016 Associating edits with IP addresses is part of the design of MediaWiki, so wikis using MediaWiki work this way except for ones that require logging in to edit. IP edits can't be reassigned to a user account as far as I know. Mars icecream, Blackbird and Mirh 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
