Question: Is it possible to use Tor and log in to edit? I spend a lot of time in the PR China and hate having to use silly methods to view Wikipedia and still not being able to edit. This really needs to be sorted out!
That's soft-blocking. We used to do that a lot but it turned out to attract vandals, trolls and sockpuppeters by the ton. Tor is great in theory, but in practice it appears to be a conduit for buckets of sewage. Which is sad.
