Hello colleagues,
Due to global trends about user data collection and use, the Wikimedia
Foundation will be masking IPs to protect editors' privacy but would also
be building tools to ensure we are able to continue fighting vandalism and
other abuse in the absence of IP addresses.
We would like to know, how will IP Masking impact you? Also which tools
will you need to be able to effectively govern the projects in absence of
IPs?
Kindly read more about the project and the tools
<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Requests_for_comment/IP_Masking_Engagement>
we are currently working on, you can offer critique, you can also suggest
your own. Please use the talk page
<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata_talk:Requests_for_comment/IP_Masking_Engagement>
for this.
Best regards,
Anti-Harassment Tools Team
