There are three ways to be identified when editing a wiki:

1. Use Real Name

WikiIndex as a community prefers that people participate using the style of RealNames.

  • Some basis for this is at Meatball:UseRealNames
  • The WELL - an original community on the internet learned that RealNames were important to building trust in an emotionally context free medium, such as the internet.

2. Pseudonyms

Attaching a psudonym to your IP address through the LoginToEdit process.

3. Anonymous with some traces

No login needed, your IP address is logged, and that is not necessarily attached to you, because often there is a variable IP address assigned for connections to the internet. Sometimes IPs are scrambled look for mod-scramble-ip.

4. Anonymous at all

No login needed, no IP logged, no automatic pseudonymisation. Even if not all af the time, for instance at AK VORRAT.
