IPs can be really irritating sometimes. There are times when I wish this wiki was limited only for access by registered users. But this would then have a big disadvantage towards newcomers.

:Unfortunately that comes with the wiki, same with users who only want to mess about. I know some wikis do have anonymous editing disabled but to be honest I'm happy that we allow for it and you are right that it is more of a disadvantage for new users than anything else. That said if you do think we should discuss it on a larger scale then [[TSW:CD|you're more than welcome to bring it up]]. {{LabSig}} 12:36, May 11, 2014 (UTC)
::I personally disagree with disabling anonymous editing. Why else would Wikipedia be so successful if it actually lived up to its slogan - "The Free Encyclopedia that anyone can edit". Sure, nearly 80%+ of vandalism come from anonymous users, but 70% of anonymous edits are ''not'' vandalism. Some people prefer editing behind an IP address without registering for an account. Wikis that allow anonymous editing are allowing people to choose. It also helps for people who are not into wiki-editing and only edited once or twice just to fix a typo or something. It saves them (and the servers) from creating accounts that won't be used later on anyways. But, as this ''is'' the administrator's noticeboard and not the forums, I'll stop right there. --'''[[:User:K6ka|k6ka]]''' ([[:User talk:K6ka|talk]] | [[:Special:Contributions/K6ka|contribs]]) 16:58, May 11, 2014 (UTC)
