This task was never "resolved". It was declined due to prevalence of individual POV of phabricator admins over the Portuguese Wikipedia community decision, as @Teles wrote above. Changed the status accordingly.

Darwinius added a comment to T292781: Measure impact of requiring login to edit articles on Persian Wikipedia.

In wiki.pt, IPs can also go to the talk page and edit it, it was never restricted there. What was restricted was basically main and Wikipedia namespaces. And not all of Wikipedia, I seem to recall. They still have access to problem report and help request pages. However, with talk pages being one of the most non-functional features of mediawiki, and with recent surges of IP vandalism there, I'm not so sure they would still be allowed to edit there nowadays. Much pain and no gain.

what you really have there is the descendants of the actual colonizers and the ones enslaved by them, as well as a lot of other ppl that migrated there after independence of the territory was granted to the settlers (at least this is how ppl generally identify themselves there)

Perhaps an analysis of the overlap between the Yoruba and Portuguese wikis might help shed some light on the problem then? If the overwhelming majority of abusers are in the overwhelming majority of readers (which would be a logical conclusion), then perhaps some of the vandalism is shared by both?

The captcha conditions for IP editors and non-autoconfirmed editors are identical (inserting external links). Admins can manually confirm new users, that might be a worthwhile thing to do for outreach events. (Likewise, you can ask participants for their preferred username at the start of the event, and create their accounts for them, so they don't have to deal with the captcha.)

I believe the warning should not be displayed before editing, but before saving, which is what really counts.

That might be an addition to be made. IMHO, I don't see anything wrong with the notification being there (as well) before actually making any changes. It saves people making the edits, then the edit being discarded when they don't want to save the changes and have their IP exposed.

There is no warning, no information, nothing. The person simply saves the edition, and their IP gets revealed without any kind of warning nor consent. You can imagine the kind of (even possibly fatal) danger this kind of thing represent, even to registered editors who log out by accident and do not realize they are logged out when they edit?

Suggesting changes to founding principles, or asking that a certain project be exempted from them, is a valid discussion for global community forums like Meta or wikimedia-l. (Not one that's likely to succeed, but valid nevertheless.) Phabricator is not such a forum. (See Phabricator etiquette.) Please do not get into policy debates here, you will be wasting your time, and you will be wasting other people's time too.

De facto policies around anonymous edits have been shaped by research on the value of IP editing. If you want to have a productive discussion about whether those policies are wrong for pt.wiki, or in general, engaging with the arguments made on that page is probably a good way forward.

In the discussion of the Lusophone community, I was in favor of banning IPs, as they are the main vandalists of Wikipedia Lusophone; but the foundation principle says that

The ability of almost anyone to be able to edit (most) articles without registering.

she says without registering, it is an easy matter to assimilate; it is not a condition, in which if the community accepts the ban of IPs; banning happens. It is a condition, which I even understand why WMF employees refuse; I sincerely think it is even better to use the abuse filters and tools against vandalism, for example: Huggle - That it is easy to detect vandalism, and reverse it. I will exchange my vote for a disagreement for the part of the possibility that an abuse filter is possible, since the filter will monitor the edits by IPs and be able to revert it if it is vandalism and would not have to ban IPs; that I violated a pillar of the foundation's principles.

I must had that I had (informally) consulted with 2 WMF employees last November, while at Wikindaba (Christel and Tony, from T&S, after an workshop related to IPs and security) about the possibility of a project community to decide to exclude edit access for IPs, and they said that we just needed to obtain visible consensus for it at our community, and present it to the developers. Now you say it can't be implemented because of what, really? What is the argument for not respecting an entire project community decision, in case consensus is obtained there?

HI, all. @Darwinius: I do not recall the conversation in question. To clarify, the Foundation's Legal department is happy to assist if needed to assess the legality of configuration changes to projects. We are not the arbiter for whether a configuration change should be made. If Christel or I said anything at Indaba that implied that a project could unilaterally approve such a change (i.e., without consensus from the developer community and/or input from the systems administrators), please attribute it to a miscommunication.

Legal is very aware that Portuguese Wikipedia has been struggling with vandalism and spam for some time, and the need for technical support. We are discussing multiple initiatives in partnership with Product that we hope will help.

Bypassing the protective measures implemented in abuse filter would end up getting reverted and admins of that wiki getting desysopped by the stewards. There are limits to what community can do in a wiki. It's like raising a child, you can raise your child any way you want but there are limits, if you cross those limits, custody of the child will be revoked, try to bypass those limits, there will be similar actions.
It's not dev vs. community, it's rest of Wikimedia vs. that community.

To start with I'd be curious whether reviewing IP edits using FlaggedRevs Extension was considered.
Huwiki made a comparison about using or disabling flagged revision, which suggest me that IP edits are better quality when IP edits are reviewed.
Additionally if IP edits are overwhelming, not reviewing the flagged revisions has the practical effect of disabling IP editing.

This is technically possible but won't ever be implemented in production, being freely editable is one of our five pillars (w.wiki/5) and anything beside these five pillar is changeable (i.e. you can't RFC this, neither in Wiki, nor here), similar to the fact that you can't make content of Wikipedia fully copyrightable even if you have full support of the community.

That being said, it seems obvious that the wiki needs better vandalism tools, like Abusefilter, ores, etc. I recommend reaching out to a larger wiki and ask their help in implementing such tools (like a bot similar to Cluebot NG)

@Aklapper I tried to do that myself, but I was unable to find the other task in the list...

@Lucas_Werkmeister_WMDE looks perfect to me - and the "long-standing idea" you mentioned is something I was also trying to figure how to do, as it would be great to place the Qids there, or to transform them into Reasonator entries, at will.

@Lucas_Werkmeister_WMDE yes, correct.
The first column is not mandatory, as the friendly value could be hardcoded in the query as something like "Official website".

Hello, I'm also trying to do the same to get a friendlier way to present the URL at the digital library I'm building at an external website over wikidata: https://adegi.pt/recursos/biblioteca.
I would really appreciate if there would be some way of hiding the URL with something like "Digital Edition".

Thanks!! It's now accepting uploads from Portugal, but the correct monument template is still missing (https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:MonumentIDPortugal )
