• the URL of the wiki ($wgServer)
• the name of the wiki's database ($wgDBname)
• reporter's IP address (regardless of whether they checked the "Include my IP address in this message" checkbox or not)
• reporter's browser
• reporter's operating system
• reporter's skin
• reporter's User-Agent string

The extension was written by Jack Phoenix for ShoutWiki.
