Keep in mind we already do log IP addresses (to an extent, for CheckUser
and whatnot), so the issue isn't actually capturing information, it's the
use and display of that information, especially since such display would be
public. Like Brian said, de-anonymizing such information might not be
difficult, *especially* on articles that are edited by only a select group
of users, e.g., most Wikipedia articles.

do endorse it if you find it interesting.
I also think you should notify the affected Wikipedias themselves on the
village pump (or local equivalents). If this were approved, it would
affect users more than developers.
