It's a bad idea to use a negative in a name.  In English, it makes for 
confusing program statements with double negatives ( e.g. not don't 
save) It would be better to use a name like:

$wgSaveIPs

and have it default to true (the current state).  Then set it to false 
if you don't want the IPs saved.
