Still, an IP-based system does not sound like a good idea, because some IPs may be shared by several people accessing Wikimedia at the same time, causing strange cases of filters being switched on or off without the person themselves realizing why. However, this does not mean a priori that we have to restrict it to logged-in users. We could use cookies instead. -- André Engels, andreeng...@gmail.com _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list foundation-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
