: Successful deployment on minor pilots and progress on the features
As planned, at the end of October and in the first days of November, we launched Temporary Accounts to 12 projects. We are happy to report that we did not encounter any issues that required us to roll back the deployment.There is a lot of activity from temporary accounts on these projects.We are currently collecting detailed data, and will publish a report with our findings about it in the coming weeks.We will also be running a survey to better understand the impact of this rollout on users with advanced rights.Many thanks to the communities of the pilot wikis, stewards, CheckUsers, and global sysops for their openness, good questions, and ideas for changes.
We are implementing an onboarding dialog box to help registered users understand temporary accounts and associated features. The dialog box will introduce the concept of temporary accounts, the IP Info tool with the IP reveal feature, and more. (T373818)
A mockup of AutorevealWe have decided to implement an "auto-reveal" feature.It will allow selected functionaries to view all IP addresses, for all temporary accounts in a defined period of time.This feature will help functionaries respond quickly to abuse, for example vandalism events that require checking a lot of IP addresses.We are currently defining the typical tasks and designs for this feature.We will be grateful if you share your thoughts about Autoreveal in this Phabricator task.The decision to build it was based on our discussions with stewards and other users with extended rights, and we would like to thank them again for their continued involvement and invaluable advice.
Special:GlobalContributions will be able to display information about cross-wiki contributions from registered users, IP addresses, IP ranges, and temporary accounts in the near future. (T375632)
