Hi!
You get this message because you are an admin on a Wikimedia wiki.
When someone edits a Wikimedia wiki without being logged in today, we show their IP address. As you may already know, we will not be able to do this in the future. This is a decision by the Wikimedia Foundation Legal department, because norms and regulations for privacy online have changed.
Instead of the IP we will show a masked identity. You as an admin will still be able to access the IP. There will also be a new user right for those who need to see the full IPs of unregistered users to fight vandalism, harassment and spam without being admins. Patrollers will also see part of the IP even without this user right. We are also working on better tools to help.
If you have not seen it before, you can read more on Meta. If you want to make sure you don’t miss technical changes on the Wikimedia wikis, you can subscribe to the weekly technical newsletter.
We have two suggested ways this identity could work. We would appreciate your feedback on which way you think would work best for you and your wiki, now and in the future. You can let us know on the talk page. You can write in your language. The suggestions were posted in October and we will decide after 17 January.
Thank you.

* The heading on the main page can now be configured using MediaWiki:Mainpage-title-loggedin for logged-in users and MediaWiki:Mainpage-title for logged-out users. Any CSS that was previously used to hide the heading should be removed.

Hej EileenSanda! Jeg kan se at du har redigeret i CS1-modulet både her og på dawiki. Jeg har for 1 måned siden opdateret det danske :da:Modul:Citation/CS1 modul så det svarer til det engelske. Nu er det engelske modul blevet opdateret igen og det er tydeligt hvor besværligt det er at opdatere. Men vi mistede desværre den bruger, der havde vedligeholdt modulet tidligere.
Jeg har forsøgt at beskrive ændringerne øverst i :da:Modul:Citation/CS1/sandkasse osv. samt i :da:Moduldiskussion:Citation/CS1#Opdatering_2021_pga_IABot.
Men der er stadig ting jeg har problemer med. Fx :da:Moduldiskussion:Citation/CS1#Bindestreg_vs_tankestreg_i_datointervaller.
Jeg tænker at der måske også er andre wikier, der godt kunne tænke sig at opdatere modulet, men som ikke har villet pille ved det fordi det gamle virker.
Jeg kunne godt tænke mig, at der var en hjælpeside med "Sådan kopierer du modulet fra enwiki til din egen wiki".
Du er meget velkommen til at kigge på "det danske" modul og hvis du har forslag så sig endelig til. --MGA73 (kjak) 29. jan 2022 kl. 13:41 (UTC)

You can use the search function on Special:AbuseFilter to locate its usage.

Mentors can still change these values using the filters on their dashboard. Also, the last choice of filters will now be saved.

This is to prevent problems when the same class-names are also used on a wiki. Please let us know by commenting at phab:T300314 if you think you might be affected.
