Im not going to violate BEANS, but even allowing accounts to edit without further hurdles isn't going to work. Because of the anonymity that tor provides its fairly easy to cause widespread issues. When the vandals start actually using tactics the flood gates of TOR will cause massive issues cross wiki that requires steward level intervention on a regular basis.

I imagine registered users could edit through TOR. That is how it works with my school IP: anonymous edits are blocked, account creation as well, but you can sign in an edit.

enabling read access via Tor shouldn't be an issue, however editing

not be allowed due to high volume of known abuse from that vector.

Editing may be a tricky one, particularly on en:wp, which has found Tor exit points to overwhelmingly be fountains of garbage, and automatically blocks them.

I personally endorse it.
Thanks Cristian for suggesting it.

Hi,
I have written a proposal about setting up an onion (hidden) service
to
serve Wikipedia over Tor:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IdeaLab/A_Tor_ Onion_Service_for_Wikipedia
I was thinking about this and I also discovered that the Internet Archive is experimenting with a very similar idea: www.hackerfactor.com/blog/index.php?/archives/750- Freedom-of-Information.html
I would like to have some feedback on this, I am also in contact
with
the author of the aforementioned proxy which could be able to give
some
help in setting it up.
Thank you.
Cristian
