The IP Masking project will create the possibility for people who A) contribute to projects and B) have not explicitly created an account for themselves to experience features that were previously limited to people who are logged in.
This task involves the work of identifying said possibilities. This task will NOT involve the work with implementing them.
"Unlocks"
This section will contain a list of functionality the Editing Team could *technically* offer to people who have temporary accounts.
- DiscussionTools
- Ability to manually subscribe to topics
- Ability to become automatically subscribed to topics
- Ability to receive notifications for topics they are subscribed to
- Ability to appear within the New Topic and Reply Tools' @-mention autocomplete [temp users are currently able to receive mentions, but the notifications interface doesn't appear in all skins and it's not clear if it's intentional]
- TBD
- VisualEditor
- Ability to have the last editor remembered in user preferences rather than cookies [temp users are currently able to have preferences, but it's not clear if it's intentional]
- TBD
Done
- The "Unlocks" section is populated with a list of new functionality the IP Masking work makes it technically possible to introduce for temporary account holders within each of the products/experiences/extensions the Editing Team is responsible for
