This year we are launching Temporary Accounts to all our projects. They are intended to replace IP addresses as the default identifier for editors who register without an account. We want to protect the privacy of our unregistered editors while balancing that with the need for our patrollers to see IP addresses to combat vandalism. This session will go into the details of temporary accounts followed by a discussion to gather feedback from the audience.

There have been several new developments in the Product Safety & Integrity space. We are a new team, formed as a merger of Trust and Safety Product with Product Security: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Product_Safety_and_Integrity

We are developing tools to help users with extended rights detect and stop bad actors more efficiently. We also have a new Incident Reporting tool that is intended to let victims of harm report when something happens. In addition, we are working on a new captcha, support for two-factor authentication, and more.

We want to share the progress we have made and gather your opinions to shape our future. To talk more, join https://wikimania.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimania:2025/Meetups/Product_Safety_and_Integrity_says_hi
