IIRC, Mediawiki should pickup, and correctly apply the IP of the
original user if you pass it along via XFF (X-Forwarded-For) headers.

Is it possible to spoof the user IP address during

sounds like an unsavory question, but let me explain. Let's say an
anonymous user edits a page in my application, which, in turn, uses a
MediaWiki API client to make the necessary token/edit requests. The
resulting user is not the IP address of the anonymous user, rather
it's the IP address of the API client. As a result, every anonymous
user that uses my application is truly, irrevocably anonymous. This is
why I wonder if it's possible to send an arbitrary user IP address
along with the edit request.
