We clearly don't have a policy of blocking everyone who's found to have arrived at Wikipedia via a Tor IP at some point.
The IPs are blocked.
So are AOL IPs. Is there also a policy of blocking anyone who has ever used AOL?
If being able to identify admins is that important, we should consider if the OTRS show-the-foundation-your-ID should be extended to normal admins.
As I said earlier, that provides no security because anyone could fax a copy of a friend's ID instead. The only thing that tends to pin someone down is their IP address. There are ways around that, to be sure, for the technically savvy. But most people aren't.
Wouldn't you put someone using TOR to hide their IPs into the technically savvy group, though?
