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
