Motivation
See parent T325238: [Epic] IP Address Reveal for Privileged Users for details.
Proposed mockup
There will be a "show IP" button next to the temp username (somewhere close to where the "talk" link is presumably). The button will expand in line to show the IP address instead.
What needs doing
T326415: Add (show IP) buttons next to temporary account user name links adds buttons next to temporary account name links, everywhere (including on Special:Watchlist):
- By default these buttons fetch the last IP used by the temporary account
- When the revision ID is present in the user link, it gets the IP associated with that revision ID
This task is for ensuring that the revision IDs are present in the user links displayed on Special:Watchlist.
There is an equivalent task that does the same for the history pages: T326392: IP Address Reveal on History page. The patch attached to that may have solved more cases than just the history page, so it is possible that it has solved this task too.
So what exactly needs doing?
- Check whether revision IDs are present in the user links displayed on Special:Watchlist
- If so, add a comment and close this task!
- If not, add them. You'll need to find where the links are built, and pass through the data, like in T326392
How can I test this?
- Check for the revision IDs in the HTML
- You can test whether the buttons work using T326415: Add (show IP) buttons next to temporary account user name links
- Note that there are two modes to test: T326396#8570913
