IP editing -- context[edit]

we were chatting at WP:Teahouse I was curious about the context/reasoning for IP editing on wikipedia e.g. why do it legitimately , are there risks with normal editing, etc.

Also how does one retain a stable IP? do you do you edit from a VPN or static IP host somewhere? Tonymetz (talk) 17:41, 28 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I don't retain a static IP, @Tonymetz, it changes at the whim of fate and whatever service provider I'm currently using. I don't mind. For a semi-humorous explanation of why I prefer it, see Association of Good Faith Wikipedians Who Remain Unregistered on Principle. In a few months, IP masking is going to be implemented (see here) which may or may not change how I and a few other long-term IP editors interact with Wikipedia. We shall see! 57.140.16.57 (talk) 17:48, 28 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This is the discussion page for an IP user, identified by the user's IP address. Many IP addresses change periodically, and are often shared by several users. If you are an IP user, you may create an account or log in to avoid future confusion with other IP users. Registering also hides your IP address.
