O mascaramento de IP oculta os endereços IP de editores não registrados em projetos da Wikimedia, total ou parcialmente, de todos, exceto daqueles que precisam de acesso para combater spam, vandalismo, assédio e desinformação.On wikis where temporary accounts are enabled, IP addresses of unregistered editors are not visible publicly.Only those who fight spam, vandalism, harassment and disinformation have access to IP addresses there.
Atualmente, qualquer pessoa pode editar as wikis da Wikimedia sem uma conta da Wikimedia ou sem fazer login. MediaWiki, o software por trás dos projetos da Wikimedia, registrará e publicará seu endereço IP em seu log público. Qualquer pessoa que procure seu endereço IP o encontrará.MediaWiki, the software behind Wikimedia projects, records and exposes your IP address in its public log if you edit without logging in.Anyone seeking your IP address will find it.
Os projetos da Wikimedia têm uma boa razão para armazenar e publicar endereços IP: eles desempenham um papel crítico em manter o vandalismo e o assédio longe de nossas wikis.
No entanto, seu endereço IP pode informar de onde você está editando e pode ser usado para identificar você ou seu dispositivo. Isso é particularmente preocupante se você estiver editando de um território onde nossas wikis são considerados controversos. A publicação do seu endereço IP pode permitir que outras pessoas o localizem.This is of particular concern if you are editing from a territory where our wikis are deemed controversial.Publishing your IP address may allow others to locate you.
Com mudanças nas leis e padrões de privacidade (por exemplo, o Regulamento Geral de Proteção de Dados e a conversa global sobre privacidade iniciada), a equipe jurídica da Wikimedia Foundation decidiu proteger a privacidade do usuário ocultando IPs do público em geral. No entanto, continuaremos a dar acesso aos usuários que precisam vê-los para proteger as wikis.However, we will continue to give access to users who need to see them in order to protect the wikis.
Estamos cientes de que essa alteração afetará os fluxos de trabalho antiabuso atuais. Estamos comprometidos em desenvolver ferramentas ou manter o acesso a ferramentas que possam identificar e bloquear vândalos, fantoches de meias, editores com conflitos de interesse e outros maus atores após os IPs serem mascarados.We are committed to developing tools or maintaining access to tools that can identify and block vandals, sock puppets, editors with conflicts of interest and other bad actors after IPs are masked.
: Deployment on 18 large and medium-sized Wikipedias, and our plans for next months
Recent deployments – in the latter half of June, we rolled out temporary accounts on MediaWiki.org and 18 large and medium-sized Wikipedias including French, German, Chinese, Japanese, and more. You will find the full list of wikis temporary accounts are deployed to in the FAQ. Heartfelt thanks to all volunteers who helped in deployment, whether by updating AbuseFilter, translating the interface, answering questions from other community members, writing and translating documentation, creating new tools, and more! Our gratitude goes to Albertoleoncio, DerHexer, Dragoniez, Ellywa, Hide on Rosé, Jules*, Johannnes89, Martin Urbanec, Matěj Suchánek, Msz2001, Neriah, NicoScribe, Titore, VZP10224, Ykhwong, *Youngjin, and many more.
Impact of the previous deployments – in a recent analysis, we found that temporary accounts did not pose any significant changes on pilot wikis. The only notable change was a shift from IP-based blocking to temporary account-based blocking on our first set of pilot wikis. You may monitor this dashboard to track changes from temporary accounts on projects where we are already deployed.
New documentation pages – you may be interested in two new documentation pages: Access to IP, explaining everything related to access to temporary account IP addresses, and Repository with a list of new gadgets and user scripts. On the latter, you will find a short new video explaining how to edit using a temporary account. We will also create at least one more for users with extended rights, moderating temporary account activity.
Meetings with communities – in the past weeks, we met with a few communities: South Asian, French Wikipedia patrollers, and Japanese Wikipedia administrators. These meetings were helpful for the community members as well as the team to plan our future work. If your community would also like to meet with us, please message Sheila.
Work in the coming weeks
Our goal for this phase is to identify issues which may only surface with large-scale use of temporary accounts. We are delighted to share that this work is progressing as planned. You may subscribe to the task T395134, "Analyzing the roll-out of temp accounts on major pilots as it impacts anti-abuse work".
Do let Claudia know if temporary accounts significantly interfered with your ability to deter bad behavior, or helped you stop unwanted behavior from happening, or eased your communication with a logged-out user.
We have also received a lot of feedback and ideas for improvements on the project talk page. We are documenting and prioritizing the next set of work based on this feedback. There are a number of Phabricator tickets we have created since the deployment. You can see them on this board.
Plans for the coming months – the final deployment on all remaining wikis is planned for September. We are considering options to limit the scope of that phase by rolling out on some wikis sooner. Please write to Szymon if your community is interested in having temporary accounts earlier (July or August) – we will gladly include your wiki in these plans.

Olá! Revise a nova página "Acesso a endereços IP de contas temporárias" para obter detalhes. A seção sobre uso de endereços IP será atualizada com detalhes sobre como e onde acessar os endereços IP, bem como o que é registrado quando os endereços IP são acessados. Por favor, revise também uma nova página relacionada com perguntas frequentes. Você notará que ambas as páginas usam o termo “contas de usuário temporárias”, que vem do MVP – mais informações sobre o MVP serão compartilhadas diretamente nesta página em breve. Se você tiver dúvidas ou preocupações, entre em contato na página de discussão.It explains how users can gain access to IP addresses.Later, we will update the section on using IP addresses.In it, we will add information on how and where to access the IP addresses, and what is logged when IP addresses are accessed.There is also a new page with frequently asked questions.Both pages use the term "temporary user accounts".This name comes from the first version of the software (MVP).Soon, we will share more information about it.We welcome your comments on the talk page.
