臨時帳戶的基礎知識
什麼是臨時帳號？
当您在维基百科或其他维基媒体基金会所托管的网站发布编辑时，如果您没有登录，系统就会为您创建一个临时帐号。 该帐户将自动获得一个用户名。 在创建帐户时，會在您的浏览器中设置cookie。 您後續的所有編輯都將归属到此臨時帳戶所分配的使用者名稱，即使您的IP地址改变了。 而根据更新的隐私方针的概述，使用临时帐户时，您的IP地址只能由获得授权的员工和社群成员访问。
臨時帳戶如何運作？
- 臨時账号名稱的格式如下：
~2025-12345-6（波浪號、创建年份、连接号、自動生成的數字，以破折號分隔，每組五個數字）。用户不能选择或更改其临时账号的名称。 - 自创建日期起经过90天之后，该临时账号将自动过期，无法使用且无法获取讨论页消息。
- 后续编辑会分配给新的临时账号。旧账号将被停止使用，无法保留或登录。
- 临时账号不能登录，也没有密码。
- 所有使用相同设备和浏览器进行的编辑都将归属于同一临时账号，即使您使用的IP地址发生变化（比如说，无论您是在家里还是在咖啡店进行编辑）。这是通过浏览器Cookie来实现的，该Cookie会记住分配给您的临时账号。
- 临时账号不同于浏览历史或打开的标签页。如果您的浏览器在不同设备间同步，您将在不同设备上被分配到不同的账号。这是浏览器的工作方式导致的。 如果您对此感到担心，您可以选择创建一个注册账号。
- 要停止使用临时账号，可以随时结束会话或是清除浏览器cookie。
臨時帳戶的顯著特點
- 临时账号与注册账号不同。临时账号的有效期较短，功能有限。除了常规编辑所收集的数据外，我们不会为临时账号收集任何其他数据。[需要澄清]
- 临时账号并不能使用已登录用户可用的所有功能。 部分操作，例如向维基共享资源上传照片，仅拥有注册账号的用户可以使用。
- 临时账号有自己的用户页与用户讨论页，但这些页面最终在账号过期时将与创建该页面的人解除关联。 一般来说，临时账号和（后续注册的）一般的用户账号可以关联，但由于可能解除关联，某些專案技术上不允许在临时账号过期或被永久封禁后编辑其用户页面。
- 临时账号可以接收通知，并可以看到关于自己用户讨论页上有新消息的横幅。
- 临时账号可以收到来自已登录编者的感谢，但无法送出感谢。
- 临时账号可以在讨论页中提及其他用户，反之亦然。

项目的基礎知識
你為何還要處理臨時帳戶？
首要目的是提升已登出用戶的隱私保護。此外，此項變更將使我們得以開發更完善的反濫用工具。
我們的維基應預設為未登入編輯者提供更安全的編輯環境。臨時帳號機制讓使用者無需註冊即可持續編輯維基內容，同時避免將編輯行為公開與其IP位址掛鉤。我們相信此舉符合未登入編輯者的最佳利益——他們為維基做出寶貴貢獻，未來可能註冊帳號並壯大社群。儘管維基會警告未登入編輯者其IP位址將與編輯行為關聯，但許多人可能不理解IP位址的含義，或未意識到該資訊可能被用於連結其個人資料，產生超出預期的關聯風險。
此外，我們的審核軟體與工具過於依賴網路來源（IP位址）來識別用戶及其活動模式，尤其當IP位址本身作為識別標記的穩定性日益降低時。臨時帳號能讓我們更精準地與未登入的編輯者互動，包括實施更精確的封禁措施，並有助於減少我們無意中封禁善意用戶的頻率——這些用戶可能與惡意用戶共享相同IP位址。
为什么临时帐户是解决问题的正确方法？
临时账户的设计有一些硬性要求。其中一些是法律性的，一些是技术性的：
| 我们面临的是什么 | 我们决定做什么 |
|---|---|
| One of the founding principles of our movement is that people should be able to make most simple edits without registering a permanent account. | Temporary accounts will be created automatically (people won't need to create an account themselves). |
| Due to legal requirements, edits on the wikis should be attributed to a user identifier other than IP address. | If temporary accounts are enabled on a wiki, an account is created for a user as soon as they commit their first edit. The user is automatically logged in to this account, which is tied to a randomly generated username. This username is displayed in every situation (except for various functionary tools) where IP addresses would have otherwise been displayed. |
| The identifier that a given not logged-in user's edits are attributed to needs to be stable. Creating a new user for each edit is not an option. Otherwise, there would be a too large rate of new users. | As soon as the temporary account is created, the user is logged in. The cookie has a limited lifetime. Within this duration, if the user decides to make more edits, they are all attributed to the same temporary account. A new one is created if the user decides to log out of the temporary account or otherwise use a different browser. The user retains the same temporary account if they change IP address while using the same device/browser. |
| The MediaWiki software can't be changed too much. We need to limit novelties to let existing features work unmodified. | A temporary account does not break anything in the way user accounts are handled. Apart from the necessary exceptions (such as features that need to be disabled for temporary accounts), most code will continue to work normally. |

禁止或限制匿名用户编辑不行吗？
不太可能。
In the past, the Wikimedia Foundation has supported research into requiring registration for all editors editing Wikipedia articles. 结果大多数都是有害的。 Over time, the Wikipedia in Persian saw large declines in the amount of constructive contributions of content. There is also a 2024 study of Portuguese Wikipedia which has blocked logged-out editing in the main namespace since October 2020. The results of this change were mixed. One of the stated goals of turning off logged-out editing was to reduce moderator burden and reverted edits, and there is evidence that it achieved this goal. On the other hand, there is evidence that this came at the cost of a significant reduction in non-reverted edits, weakening the growth of content in the Portuguese Wikipedia, and potentially leading to other negative long-term effects.
At this time, with the data we have, we cannot say that disabling logged-out editing on any project is a beneficial solution.
临时账户部署在哪里？这些更改将于何时部署在我的wiki？
- Temporary accounts are already available on the following wikis:
- 捷克语维基学院, 丹麦语维基百科, 波斯语维基词典, 伊博语维基百科, 意大利语维基语录, 日文维基教科书, 书面挪威语维基百科, 罗马尼亚语维基百科, 塞尔维亚语维基百科, 塞尔维亚-克罗地亚语维基百科, 斯瓦希里语维基百科, 粤文维基百科 (/),
- 阿塞拜疆语维基百科, 阿拉伯语维基百科, 捷克语维基百科, 德语维基百科, 波斯语维基百科, 法语维基百科, 希伯来语维基百科, 印地语维基百科, 印尼语维基百科, 日文维基百科, 韩文维基百科, 荷兰语维基百科, 波兰语维基百科, 葡萄牙语维基百科, 土耳其语维基百科, 乌克兰语维基百科, 越南语维基百科, 中文维基百科, MediaWiki ().
- "Other Wikimedia projects" ().
- Most wikis. From this point on, the team defines a list of wikis with temporary accounts not enabled – T402181 ().
- Finally, later in 2025, we will deploy temporary accounts on all remaining wikis in one carefully coordinated step.
我们鼓励机器人操作员和工具开发人员尽早测试他们的工具。
参见：T340001。
如果社群决定继续使用IP地址呢？
隨著維基平台引入臨時帳號機制，後續貢獻者將不再顯示IP位址。所有社群皆需為此轉換至臨時帳號的變革做好準備。
Is the Wikimedia Foundation monitoring the effect of using temporary accounts on the communities?
是。
There is a public dashboard for monitoring metrics for the pilot wikis. All these statistics are updated very frequently, for instance, real-time or once every day, to give everyone a good visibility of the actual work of temporary accounts on wikis.
The following specific metrics are publicly available:
Public metrics in detail

In addition, the Foundation is monitoring some other metrics which for security or privacy reasons are not public. These include data like the number of requests for assistance from CheckUsers. We will periodically share reports about the non-public metrics.

IP地址出现在许多页面的历史记录中。那些过去的记录会被修改吗？
不会。
切换到临时帐户之前在维基上公开的历史IP地址将不会被修改。维基媒体基金会法律部门已批准这一决定。
Does the introduction of temporary accounts reduce the motivation for users to create a registered account?
With temporary accounts users can be notified and thanked for their contribution. This can hopefully drive up their engagement. For example, a user who makes a drive-by edit being thanked with a message on their talk page may realize the opportunity to interact with the community. We want to periodically nudge them to create a registered account. We hope this can help retain them and push them to create accounts that they wouldn't have otherwise.
Will temporary accounts be affected by the global IP blocks? Will users still be assigned temp accounts if they're using a VPN, or will the block prevent that? How will this affect VPN users?
There is no change in this regard. If an IP address or IP range is globally blocked, the rules of the block will dictate whether unregistered users can edit or not. Temporary accounts will be treated the same as IP editors were treated prior to the introduction of temporary accounts. 这对VPN使用者同样有效。
Legal details about temporary accounts
What specific legal requirements, regulations or risks are you worried about? Is the Foundation facing legal action? What would happen if we didn't introduce temporary accounts?
We shouldn't provide all the information. We shouldn't publish some details, and we shouldn't disclose why. If we publicly discussed what arguments we can make, or what risks are most likely to result in litigation, we could help someone harm the wikis and the communities.
This answer is based on attorney advice we are choosing to follow.
Can this change be rolled out differently by location?
否。
We protect the privacy of all users to the same standard. This will change across the Wikimedia projects.
If we tell someone their IP address will be published, isn't that enough?
No.
Many people have been confused to see their IP address published. Additionally, even when someone does see the notice, the Foundation has to properly handle their personal data. Publishing the IP addresses of non-logged-in editors falls short of current privacy best practices. Also, it creates risks, including risks to those users.
How does the project affect CC license attribution?
其不会受到影响。
The 3.0 license for text on the Wikimedia projects already states that attribution should include "the name of the Original Author (or pseudonym, if applicable)" (see the license at section 4c). Use of the temporary account names will function equally well as a pseudonym. IP addresses already may vary or be assigned to different people over time, so their use to identify unregistered editors is no different in this respect from the use of temporary account names. Both satisfy the license pseudonym requirement. In addition, our Terms of use section 7 specify that as part of contributing to Wikipedia, editors agree that links to articles (which include article history) are a sufficient method of attribution.
临时账户相关技术细节
我在哪里测试这一功能？
- All beta cluster wikis except en-rtl Wikipedia
- test.wikipedia.org
- test2.wikipedia.org
Keep in mind that these are testing wikis. Software there may not work as expected.
In addition, users with advanced permissions may test different features on Patch Demo available on T369637.
临时账户能持续多长时间？
只要cookie存在，临时帐户就会一直有效。 该cookie目前设置为自首次编辑后三个月过期。
以下是导致临时帐户丢失且无法找回的最常见情况：
- 用户清除了浏览器cookie。
- 用户删除了其浏览器上创建临时帐户时使用的配置文件。
- 用户使用了隐身（私密浏览）窗口，并关闭了该窗口。
- cookie过期了。
若臨時帳號遺失，則當使用者下次發佈編輯時，系統將自動生成一個具備新使用者名稱的臨時帳號。 若使用者希望擁有永久帳戶，可隨時創建免費註冊帳戶。
如果軟體無法設定臨時帳戶Cookie會發生什麼情況？
If it's not possible to set a cookie, for example the browser is configured to block all cookies, the editor would have their edit saved successfully. However, the temporary account would be a single-use one, and it would be deleted immediately.
I support privacy protections, but why does this involve tracking cookies?
This cookie is not a tracking cookie.
Tracking cookies are used to track your browser history and activities, typically across multiple websites. We are adding a cookie to attribute your editing activities to the same username across multiple IP addresses and multiple websites (all SUL-connected wikis). It is a lot like a tracking cookie, but we’ve chosen not to call it that.
Does the temporary accounts system work the same way across different devices, or is it only reliable in desktop browsers?
Temporary accounts should work equally well on phones, tablets, and desktop devices. A temporary account is tied to both a browser and device. As long as those don't change, the temporary account will persist.
临时用户名會在不同維基中是独一无二的吗？
是的。
如果您在多个启用统一登录的维基上都看到了User:~2024-1234567这个帐户，那您可以确信这是同一个帐户。
Why is the year included in the temporary account username?
We decided to include the year in the name so that it is easier to identify newer accounts from older ones. You will also notice expired usernames appear struck out for the same reason.
How many accounts do you expect will be generated? Is there a limit to how high that number can go?
We do not anticipate this to be a problem:
- Temporary account creation is rate limited. This means it's not possible to abuse account creation with automated scripts.
- Because the temporary account usernames are prefixed with the year, at the start of every year the username gets a "reset". This way the username cannot get very long.
Have you considered that the tilde character isn't simply available on keyboards?
Yes, accessing the tilde character (~) is not easy on mobile phone keyboards.
It is available through the symbols menu.
Unfortunately, this is the case for most symbols.
We wanted to minimize renaming existing accounts and avoid characters that could interfere with URLs or hold special meaning.
After assessing many prefix options (see T332805) we chose the tilde.
What if temporary accounts are only enabled on some wikis?
Some wikis have temporary accounts enabled (pilots) and others do not.
Wikis that have temporary accounts enabled display unregistered editors as temporary accounts. On non-temp-accounts wikis they still show up as IP addresses. When the temporary user switches between these wikis they will show up as a temporary account in one wiki and as an IP address in another.
This may create a problem with some features that rely on having a persistent user identity across wikis. If your feature(s) are impacted by this change, please come talk to us on the talk page or through Phabricator.
对IP地址的获取 - 谁有权
谁可以看到临时账户的IP地址？
监管员、用户查核员、全域系统管理员、管理员、以及其他符合资格门槛的巡查员並獲其社群管理員授予權限、以及维基媒体基金会的某些工作人员。
IP位址存在隱私風險。因此，這些資訊僅會向需要該資料以有效調查或預防各類政策違規行為的人員顯示。
参阅：
- 获取临时帐户IP地址法律政策
我有一个合格账户。如何查看 IP 地址？
Please follow your community's guidelines to request this right from admins and/or bureaucrats and/or stewards (as defined by your community). 一旦您獲得此權限，即可前往頁面Special:Preferences、找到區段临时账号IP显示、勾選核取方塊、然後點擊「儲存」。請閱讀注意事項：
在开启这些设置之前，您必须阅读并同意《访问临时账号IP地址方针》。具体如下：您不得访问、使用或透露临时账号的IP地址信息，除非存在用于调查或对破坏、滥用、垃圾内容、骚扰、扰乱行为，及其他违反维基媒体基金会或社群方针政策的行为采取强制措施的合理必要性。如果您确实需要与他人共享信息，您必须谨慎处理共享的地点与方式，并且在他人不再需要查看时删除信息。
其他有权访问临时账号IP地址的用户将能看到您已开启此设置。
我需要签署非公开信息保密协议吗？
You do not have to sign any separate document; you just opt-in, and thereby confirm that you will follow the relevant policies and legal guidelines.
访问非公开个人数据政策（ANPDP）是维基媒体基金会制定的一项法律政策，规定用戶查核和担任其他特定职务的人员必须保护他们在履行职责过程中获得的非公开个人数据。 志愿者管理员和巡逻员无需签署ANPDP协议。 不过，您需要通过本地维基站点的Special:Preferences选择访问IP 地址。
编者应如何申请该新的用户权限？
This is automatically assigned to users who have permissions related to anti-abuse tasks, as defined in the policy. 他們唯一需要採取的步驟，就是在其維基開放此功能時選擇加入。
Other users need to apply for the right, and administrators or stewards can grant these rights.
The Wikimedia Foundation is not requiring a process equivalent to becoming an admin in the largest communities. Communities may choose to handle these requests via their existing processes, or to set up new pages. 比如，英语维基百科可能会选择在w:en:Wikipedia:Requests for permissions接受申请，德语维基百科则可能会是在w:de:Wikipedia:Rechtevergabe处理申请，乌克兰语维基百科可能是在w:uk:Вікіпедія:Заявки на права патрульного。非常小的社群则常在其互助客栈（Village pump）处理类似的请求。
For "other users" (as they are categorized in the policy), is it possible to bundle this right with an existing group, like patrollers?
No, at least not currently. This is what we announced in May 2025:
- Separation of the new right (
checkuser-temporary-account) out to a new group (Temporary account IP viewers), as opposed to technically attaching it to any existing group (like patroller). We have decided to do this for a few reasons:- Having access to IP addresses carries risk. This right is similar to checkuser. IP addresses are considered personally identifiable information (a kind of personal data). Outside actors who want to access IP addresses will now need to interact with users who have this right. Users with this right should be aware of this, and alert to the possibility of suspicious access requests.
- Good practices for privacy protection. Giving access to users who are trusted but do not need access to carry on their work is not in line with good practices for processing personal data.
- Removal of right. Access to IPs will be logged (example). If any misuse of this right is detected, it can be taken away separately from any other permissions the user may hold. It would be difficult and sometimes also unreasonable to remove the rights unrelated to access to IP addresses.
- You may grant the new right to all users belonging to a certain existing group individually. These users must meet the criteria for Temporary account IP viewers, though.
- For clarity – all this does not affect administrators, bureaucrats, checkusers, stewards, and other groups mentioned in the global policy.
We have also documented this decision in Limits to configuration changes.
我的社群希望设置更高的要求。我们应该怎么做？
每个wiki可能也会设置自己的申请流程，會采用较最低标准較高一點的标准。 請確保您社群的共識不與全球政策相牴觸，而是將您選擇的要求事項補充至全球政策之中。
用户权限何时開始可用？什么时候可以开始授予？
使用者權限已新增至MediaWiki軟體中。社群可隨時開始授予此權限。
我认为对非管理员的最低要求太高
有的时候可能这句话也没错，比如某个wiki刚刚成立的时候。 在這種情況下，請聯絡監督員。
我是管理员，但我不想要该用户权限
除非您啟用此偏好設定，否則將無法查看任何相關資訊。
我认为有人在滥用相关权限
请将隐私相关问题报告给申诉专员委员会。为确保问责机制，我们将保留相关工具的使用日志以及有权访问该工具的用户清单。
其他有关潜在滥用的相关疑问请报告给监管员，只需要在m:Steward requests/Permissions#Removal of access上提交请求即可。如果监管员确定发生了滥用情况，他们有权阻止该用户访问相关的IP地址信息，即使用户符合自动授予条件或已通过社区流程获得访问权限。
If someone is blocked, are they able to use this right?
If a user is blocked sitewide, the software won't let them reveal IP addresses. If they have a partial block, they are able to use this right.
Access to IP addresses – moderation workflows and blocking
What happens if a temporary account is associated with multiple IP addresses?
When a user reveals the IP address of a temporary account from a history/log page, in most cases the IP revealed is the one responsible for that specific action. To view a temporary account's editing history, one can use the page Special:IPInfo which is linked from the temporary account's contributions page.
临时账号持有者需要封禁时怎么办？
臨時帳戶的IP位址將保留90天。 IP位址仍可被封鎖。 Temporary accounts can also be independently blocked, including global blocks and autoblocks.
滥用者不能直接清除cookie吗？
是的，他们可以。临时账户无意解决任何反破坏问题。
我们知道滥用者通过不断变化的IP池进行编辑同时掩盖浏览器代理数据的问题。 这不能通过临时账户来解决。 这也不是该项目的设计目标。 否则，我们将需要使用可信令牌、禁用匿名编辑或指纹识别，所有这些都是非常复杂的措施，需要大量的社群和技术考虑。
我們已調整相關工具，確保受信任的職能人員能安全且高效地處理過去90天內臨時帳戶與IP位址之間的雙向對應關係。 然而，對於沒有高級權限的使用者而言，若某位清除Cookie的使用者進行濫用行為，可能難以偵測或無法有效緩解；若涉及的編輯內容已超過90天，此類情況將更為棘手。
If a user clears their browser cookies but continues using the same IP address, will there be any way to connect them back to their previous temporary account?
Especially in shared environments like universities and schools, where multiple unrelated users might be using the same IP, how will the system handle that?
If a user clears their cookies and edits again, they will be granted a new temporary account. This can only happen a maximum of six times per day after which the account creation limit will be reached. Users who have access to view temporary account IP addresses will be able to make the connection between IPs and temporary accounts through the page Special:IPContributions.
Will temporary accounts be covered by the autoblock mechanism?
自动封锁功能可阻止破坏者和其他高风险用户继续破坏项目，因为他们会立即创建一个新账户。 临时账户的自动锁定与注册用户的自动锁定相同。 （IP位址不對公眾開放。）
更多資訊可於phab:T332231中取得。 臨時帳戶亦可透過全域自動封鎖功能進行封鎖。
How to do moderation work without exposing other users' private data?
We have a few tips, both for community members who can't block other users, and for admins:
- We recommend focusing on asking admins to block temporary accounts instead of asking to block both temporary accounts and IPs. This is because often, it suffices to only block temporary accounts.
- If a temporary account is blocked with autoblocking enabled, the IP they were using will be blocked for 24 hours. If a temporary account user doesn't switch IPs, there isn't a need to block their IP unless the block needs to be longer than 24 hours.
- If a user is using many temporary accounts over multiple IPs, we recommend to also ask to block the IPs. We discourage from writing down the IP addresses themselves as part of the request, though.
- We discourage from linking registered accounts and temporary accounts publicly. It would allow non-CheckUsers establish the registered account IP.
- Some connections may be traced by analyzing public logs. This is a trade-off. We limit access to different logs, but it's not always the best solution.
The current configuration of temporary accounts will make retro-patrolling impossible
Currently, the 90-day period after which the IP address of a temporary account becomes inaccessible seems reasonably long. We have consulted the Stewards on this. If you can demonstrate a need for a longer period, contact us. We are open to extending this period.
In any case, the 90-day limit doesn't apply to behavioral evidence or patterns of editing – these will continue to be visible. The number itself may be changed, and we will be paying attention to your thoughts and evidence of more difficult investigation. It is important to note that for instances of proven long-term abuse behaviors, we can publicly document the IP address for patrolling needs.
Access to IP addresses – documentation
一些社群目前在公开的页面记录一些不良行为者的活动信息，包括他们的IP地址（例如，持续出没的破坏者）。这种页面是否仍然被允许？
是的。
社群应在长期破坏者列表中同等对待登录用户和临时帐户持有者的IP。他们可能会在必要时列出IP地址，但他们应该通过临时帐户用户名来提及。
参阅：
我们是否可以公开记录可疑（但未确认）使用临时帐户的不良行为者所使用的IP地址？
总体而言，不可以。但有些情况可以，暂时的。
When possible, patrollers with access to IP addresses should document the temporary account name(s) instead of the IP addresses. The exception is when the IP addresses are necessary for the purpose of protecting the wiki from abusive actions. Necessity should be determined on a case-by-case basis. If a disclosure later becomes unnecessary, then the IP address should be promptly removed.
For example, if a suspected vandal is exonerated during an investigation, then the report showing the user's IP address can be removed through oversight. That way, the IP address is only revealed while it is needed, and then is suppressed later, after it has been shown to not be needed any longer. See the related policy for more information.
When it comes to documenting connections between logged-in and temporary users, non-CheckUser-level evidence, like editing patterns may be documented publicly. Documenting publicly that a temporary account and a regular account are connected based on evidence restricted for CheckUsers would be against the policy, even if IP addresses wouldn't be documented.
If other information about non-logged-in contributors is revealed (such as location, or ISP), then it doesn't matter if the IP address is also published, right?
No. The IP address should not be published.
With temporary accounts, the public information will not be linked to an individual person or device. For example, it will be a city-level location, or a note that an edit was made by someone at a particular university. While this is still information about the user, it's less specific and individual than an IP address. So even though we are making some information available to assist with abuse prevention, we are protecting the privacy of that specific contributor better.
Experienced contributor questions
Where can I test how my advanced permissions work with temporary accounts?
Users with advanced permissions may test different features on Patch Demo available on T369637.
Is there a limitation for creating many temporary accounts from the same IP address?
Yes.
There are limits preventing from creating too many accounts from the same IP address too quickly.
- The current threshold for regular accounts is six per IP address per day (
$wgAccountCreationThrottle). - In addition to that, there is a similar limitation for temporary accounts, which is also six per IP address per day (
$wgTempAccountCreationThrottle). - We have also introduced a limit of one temporary account creation every 10 minutes. (T405565)
These thresholds can be changed if necessary.
We have investigated the ideal thresholds of the limit (T357771). We will check nuanced responses to tripping thresholds, including CAPTCHAs, temporary blocks, calls to create an account, etc. During the entire rollout, we will analyze rate limit trips (T357763). To learn more, see T357776.
With temporary accounts, can we now communicate with unregistered users through their talk pages, and will those messages remain available for 90 days?
Messages on talk pages will not disappear after 90 days. Any conversation and messages left on their talk pages will remain.
Will the issue of warnings being sent out to the wrong person, due to shared IP addresses, be resolved with temporary accounts?
Temporary account holders can receive notifications like mentions, talk page messages or thanks just like any registered account. Since temporary accounts do not change when IPs change, the likelihood that the intended user will see the notification is significantly higher.
What are the functional differences between using a Special:CheckUser on a temporary account, and revealing the IP address?
Unlike Special:CheckUser, using the IP reveal feature only shows you IP address information. This includes the IP address used for a particular edit by a particular temporary account, the last IP address used by a temporary account, all the IP addresses used by a temporary account, or all the temporary accounts edits on a given IP address or IP address range.
Why are there so many temporary accounts with zero edits?
Temporary accounts can exist with zero edits in a few situations. The first is if a temporary account is created on one wiki and then opens a different wiki in the same wiki-farm. Opening another wiki autocreates an account for them on that wiki.
Additionally, temporary accounts are not created at the moment of a successful edit save, but at the moment of any save attempt. AbuseFilter may prevent the edit from being saved. These attempts need to be logged, and in the log, each attempt needs to be assigned to a performer. This is why an account needs to be created.
What does 'Legacy IP edits' mean, visible in Special:Contributions and related pages?
This refers to edits by anonymous users before temporary accounts were enabled, whose IP addresses are visible in their usernames.
Do temporary accounts see Sitenotice or Anonnotice banners?
Temporary accounts get to see messages from MediaWiki:Sitenotice, and not MediaWiki:Anonnotice.
Are temporary accounts welcomed by Extension:NewUserMessage?
No. Temporary accounts are not registered accounts, and they are not welcomed by NewUserMessage.
