--- Comment #39 from Bawolff (Brian Wolff) <bawolff...@gmail.com> --- >it helped us with our work and it was in no >way a breach of the privacy policy I seriously do not understand this line argument. Being able to map usernames to IP addresses is not generally considered ok. Well it may seem to you that this was not possible before this change, a motivated attacker would be able to do it. Additionally, MediaWiki is not just used by Wikimedia. Its generally understood that the software is designed in such a way to not reveal IP addresses of logged in users. -------------- If this change is really causing hardship, the way forward would be to create an extension to reveal this information, and gain some sort of consensus on what sort of users should have access to the information. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Wikibugs-l mailing list Wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l
