--- Comment #1 from Marcin Cieślak <marcin.cies...@gmail.com> ---
I have opened bug 58237 for various issues related to 127.0.0.1 :)
I strongly believe (see e.g. https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/92050/ my
comment to patchset 1) that 127.0.0.1 should be nothing special;
1) if the operation is executed automagically on behalf of some realuser, her
WebRequest should be taken (IP address, user agent, etc.) even if it's an
automated action. That's why for example I think bug 42345 should be WONTFIXed
as of now.
There is an edge case here what to do in case of delayed updates - they might
appear as done from some IP address that can already be used by some other
"person" later. Maybe IP address in the logs should always be separately
timestamped irrelevant to the actual operation log?
2) otherwise we should have special means not to use real users at all in such
scenario. I proposed various ways to solve this
(https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/92252/, also some thoughts
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.science.linguistics.wikipedia.technical/73503).
In this particular case I think that MassMessage should be changed not to use
127.0.0.1
