Before the creation of a user account on Test Wiki, a user has the ability to browse, and in most cases contribute, anonymously. The term "anonymous" in the case of contributing is defined as the action of editing without a registered user account. Instead of contributions made under the registered user account's name, anonymous contributions are stored under your [[wikipedia:IP address|IP address]]. If you do not want your IP address to be publicly displayed, it is recommended that you [[Special:UserLogin/signup|create an account]]. |
