No editor is blocked here, but a set of proxy ranges. ''Affected'' (not ''blocked'') editors will be able to continue editing through other browsers, it does not affect the Wikipedia iOS app. It will not affect users who disable Apple iCloud Private Relay either (and there are good privacy reasons to disable it).

Revision as of 09:10, 17 October 2021
We are looking for answers to the following questions:
- Are you seeing problems related to the current iCloud Private Relay global blocks on your wiki?
- Do you think that it's likely that good-faith editors will be affected by blocks?
- While we do not know for sure, we think that this situation may grow over the next couple of years. It is possible that other browsers, such as Chrome and Firefox, could follow a similar pattern and also restrict access to IP addresses.[1] If this happens, it will be a major change in how the internet works. What do you think, in what ways would this change affect the wikis?
Write in any language you are comfortable with. Thank you!
Blocked editors?
On the question Do you think that it's likely that good-faith editors will be blocked?:
No editor is blocked here, but a set of proxy ranges. Affected (not blocked) editors will be able to continue editing through other browsers, it does not affect the Wikipedia iOS app. It will not affect users who disable Apple iCloud Private Relay either (and there are good privacy reasons to disable it). So, to have a more fruitful discussion, we should discuss the exact circumstances in which editors are affected (not blocked), and what are the different ways to mitigate it, and instructions we can give them.

- ↑ There is no direct evidence that this will certainly happen. This hypothesis is based on market analysis.
