Sorry, first time on media wiki so I'm not too sure.

If you meant "View History": You don't. :) Which underlying problem would be solved by hiding IPs?

you could require everyone to log in first (take away edit rights from logged out users). Then no ips would be publicly shown.

You could put .mw-anonuserlink {display:none} into Mediawiki:Common.css

That would hide it from the history page (though it'd still be in the HTML page source).

It seems this is an ongoing debate, e.g. T95144.

Maybe you could find hooks which would let you change the IP address of every "anonymous" user to 0.0.0.0 or something, if this wouldn't cause you other problems.

Hooks/HtmlPageLinkRendererBegin was mentioned in Topic:Ufe16gko8aw47e6a.
