Mediawiki allows users to make edits without having a wiki account, or without logging in. Currently, in such cases Mediawiki attributes the edit to the user's IP address. WMF has introduced a functionality that, which when enabled, does not link the edit to the IP address but a temporary ("fake") account as a means to protect the privacy of these users.

Acceptance criteria:

• Automated test that ensure that when editing without an account, a user's IP address is not recorded but instead attributed to a temporary ("fake") account.

Technical notes:

• this feature is disabled by default. Set $wgAutoCreateTempUser['enabled'] = true; to enable. See also https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgAutoCreateTempUser
