On Swedish Wiktionarys common.js,
http://sv.wiktionary.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Common.js , is a script that
takes the visitors IP-addresses and transforms it into a non-revertable
number, and then sends it to an external private server that belongs to
one if the administrators on Wiktionary. The script is used for
statistics on visited articles.
To me it seems like this kind of script is a violation of the privacy
policy, since it is possible to get the IP-numbers of all visitors, even
though it is not done in this case. I should also mention that a
discussion was held before this script was activated and that no one
objected to it.
Are these kind of scripts allowed?
