Hi all,

As we work towards introducing temporary account auto-creation as part of the IP Masking project, we need to decide how to distinguish between anon/IP, registered and temporary accounts in features that flag these user types differently, e.g. APIs, Recent Changes, etc.

If you are interested in this decision, please take a look at this task: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T337103 and add any comments there.
