[Mediawiki-l] [PATCH] anonymous editing

[Hanno Böck]

Hi,

Attached is a patch to mediawiki that adds a new option 
$wgDontSaveIPs

What it does is allowing completely anonymous wikis by replacing the IP adress 
with 0.0.0.0.

(a bit background, there's a german campaign wirspeichernnicht.de, which wants 
to enforce a more anonymous web and provides a couple of descriptions how to 
disable ip saving in different apps - for mediawiki it tells to change the 
source, though I thought a clean option would be better:
http://www.wirspeichernnicht.de/content/view/9/24/)

Attached patch is against mediawiki 1.15rc1. Would be nice if you would apply 
it.
