The Wikimedia Foundation will likely soon have to contend with “the rising noise of criticism from Elon Musk and others,” as founder Jimmy Wales recently put it. It’s already taking measures to safeguard the identity of those who edit pages on Wikipedia. One of those is a temporary accounts program that, as 404 Media describes it, will “give editors who are not logged in a temporary username rather than showing an IP address.”
