A few years ago I had strongly protested (like some other people) how easy it is to inadvertently have our IP revealed on Mediawiki. Finally a text was put in at the top which says now "You are not logged in".
This text is still hard to see. What should really be there in addition is "Not logged in" in bold RED right below the "Save Box". THATS the most crucial time when we need to know if we are not logged in.
Any idea of how I can do this on my wiki? And yes, I inadvertently just now put on my IP address on one of the MW websites for all the World to see. Great.

For you, perhaps the easiest thing to do for your wiki is to edit your default skin .. just copy monobook.. then make a noticible change to it. Anonymous users will see your changed skin. Maybe put a thin red line at the top of every page? That should be simple to add to the skin.
When you're logged in, you see everything as normal..
Hi Ali, Thanks! Is there a way to do this so that there's something eye-catching near the Save button if people are not logged in? I'm not sure what change I should make and where in the monobook. I appreciate your help! Eric

Sorry, I don't know offhand.. I haven't played with skins for a very very long time.
I also wonder if it's possible to have a default language setting.. and just copy english to that anonymous-user language.. and then put the 'save' button in all caps or something. This is just speculation, I'm not sure how to do it..
