Description

List of steps to reproduce (step by step, including full links if applicable):

Be logged out
Go to a Talk page on the mobile site e.g. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Sandbox
Click/tap the "Add discussion" button
Enter a subject and message
Click/tap "Publish"

What happens?:
The message is saved with your IP address visible both in the signature and the page history, with no warning about this

What should have happened instead?:
Some kind of warning that your IP address will be visible, like those shown when using the normal mobile editing form, or editing on the desktop site

This issue only seems to impact the MobileFrontend overlay, which the Editing Team is planning to deprecate and replace with a new DiscussionTools interface.

There are a few places you can go to learn about and participate in the work the Editing Team is doing to make it easier for people, across experience levels, to use mobile talk pages constructively:

Read and/or subscribe to the network of tasks associated with T278588 that are of interest to you
Read and/or add the project' MediaWiki project page to your watchlist: Talk pages project/Mobile

Of course, if any question/ideas/concerns emerge as you're reading the above, please send me a message on my mediawiki.org talk page: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User_talk:PPelberg_(WMF)
