Change Details

**Please provide all the following information:** * **Context.** Provide a short paragraph with some background context for your request, please include links to relevant material. Temporary accounts are a paradigm shift for anonymous editing. We have some insights from rollout to small wikis, but in June/July we are rolling out to large wikis. After the rollout, we want to understand 1) impact on anti-abuse workflows, to understand if there are improvements we should make to tooling or features we need to introduce 2) ways that temporary accounts are being used for abuse, so we can understand if there are software based solutions to mitigate this abuse. * **Description.**What is your request about? Analyzing patterns in abuse related to temporary accounts to figure out where we need improvements in tooling to support communities. * **Expected Deliverable.** What is the ideal outcome or result of your request? An analysis of abuse related to temporary accounts that points to specific software interventions that will reduce the burden of anti-abuse efforts on communities. * **Estimated Effort.** Please provide an estimate of the amount of work needed to complete this task, if known. Not sure, but would think that 2-4 weeks would likely be enough to provide us with useful information. * **Priority** Please indicate a priority of your task and a small description of what it would unlock for you. We ask you to leave this task as “needs triage” since your request will go through a Backlog refinement process where our team will prioritize the work. I need this task resolved in: [x] 1 month. [ ] 3 months. [ ] 6 months. [ ] Whenever you get to it :-) * **Other.** Do you have any other questions or comments ? ---------------- **For use by WMF Research team; please leave everything below as it is:** 1. Does the request serve one of the existing Research team's audiences? If yes, choose the primary audience. (1 of 4) 2. What is the type of work requested? 3. What is the impact of responding to this request? [] Support a technology or policy need of one or more WM projects [] Advance the understanding of the WM projects. [] Something else. If you choose this option, please explain briefly the impact below.

We also want to understand how IP reveal right is manually granted and how it is used across various user groups, considering also the potential that this right may be abused by those who have access. * **Description.**What is your request about?
