When you publish a page in this wiki, you may be logged in or not.

If you are logged in, you will be identified by your user name. This may be your real name if you so choose to use your real name as a login, or you may choose to publish under a pseudonym, whatever user name you selected when you created your account.

If you have not logged in, you can be identified by your network IP address. An IP address is a series of four numbers which identifies the Internet address from which you are contacting the wiki. Depending on your connection, this number may be traceable only to a large Internet service provider, or specifically to your school, place of business, or home.

Because it is possible to identify users by IP address, it may also be possible for those who run the wiki to identify users by their real-life identites.

If you are concerned about privacy, you are encouraged to use a pseudonym. If you vandalize the wiki, you may be traced to your IP address.
