Problem with "Identity"
source: de:Wikipedia:Fragen_zur_Wikipedia permalink:

Answer from DBrant at facebook: "The "identity" permission is a really unfortunate name given to it by the Play store. To be clear, the app doesn't access any aspects of your identity, except your Wikipedia account. In this sense, you're allowing the app access to your "Wikipedia identity", and only if you choose to log in to your Wikipedia account in the app, nothing more. Also note that this permission is not necessary in the newest version of Android (Marshmallow), since they've updated the way that apps handle user accounts, so as not to scare users with the verbiage.''

German translation from Tirkon:

''Die "Identität" Erlaubnis ist eine ungeschickte Wortwahl des Play Store. Die App berührt keinen Aspekt deiner Identität außer deinem Wikipedia Account. In diesem Sinne erlaubst du der App, auf deine Wikipedia Identität nur dann zuzugreifen, wenn du dich in deinen Wikipedia Account einlogst, nicht mehr. Nimm ebenfalls zur Kenntnis, dass die Erlaubnis in der neuen Android Version (Marshmellow) nicht notwendig ist, da der Account Zugriff dort auf andere Weise gelöst ist, also verängstige hier nicht die User mit deinem Geschwätz.''
