Stop showing create an account message on editing UI for Wikibase instances that have temporary accounts enabled
Open, Needs TriagePublic

Description

Problem:
We are showing warnings when edits are made on Wikibases and the user isn't logged in. This warning informs them that their IP will be shown. With IP Masking this will no longer be the case so we should remove the warning.
This applies for all edits to Items, Properties, Lexemes and EntitySchemas

Acceptance criteria:

  • IP leak warning isn't shown when editing Lexemes when IP Masking is enabled
  • IP leak warning isn't shown when editing EntitySchema when IP Masking is enabled
  • IP leak warning isn't shown when editing Item and Property pages when IP Masking is enabled

Event Timeline

Shouldn't this be "replaced" with some other warning - not just removed? Users using temporary account certainly enjoy less protection then registered users regarding things like how their IP is handled - and this could be of importance to registered users that just happen to have been logged out

Hi @Xaosflux, we totally agree. There will be a prompt that will be applied from this ticket T330510 that will encourage people to log in and create accounts.
