Summary

The MediaWiki-extensions-IPReputation AbuseFilter variables work for actions performed by IP addresses. We want to expand this support to actions performed by temporary accounts and for account creation.

Background

• AbuseFilter MediaWiki-extensions-IPReputation variables allow determining if the IP being used by a user is known to iPoid-Service and what details are known about it
• These details are generic enough that it's not practically possible to reverse these to a specific IP address or range
  • However, we still wanted to ensure that we expire this data to ensure privacy is given to users once the need for this data is no longer the case (i.e. after 3 months)
• Now that we are working on making this data expire and are at a stage where the data is in a format that can be expired (T390873), we can make these variables be supported for temporary accounts and account creations.

Technical notes

• Likely requires adding a hook to AbuseFilter to support account creations.

Acceptance criteria

• MediaWiki-extensions-IPReputation AbuseFilter variables can be used for actions performed by temporary accounts
• MediaWiki-extensions-IPReputation AbuseFilter variables can be used for account creations
