RevealAnonIP unmasks "A FANDOM user" so that their actual IP address can be seen. This works on article/blog comments and on the Special:WikiActivity page. You can also set special permissions so that this tool is only available to, for example, site administrators. Please note that this script has two different installations depending on how you want to use it.

Site-wide installation

User installation

If you are a user who would like to install this script just for yourself, you must include the RevealAnonIP/usercode.js file instead of the /code.js version used in site-wide scripts. This will allow the script to work properly for you in cases where local wiki has set permissions that would otherwise block you. If you're using this script for just yourself, you wouldn't want a local wiki to prevent you from using it with their permissions settings, would you?

Configuration

There is a setting which allows this script to run only for users in specific user groups. To use this configuration setting, you have to add user groups as strings to the permissions array. Here is how the basic syntax works:

// https://dev.fandom.com/wiki/RevealAnonIP
window.RevealAnonIP = {
    permissions : ['GROUP1', 'GROUP2', 'GROUP3']
};

Where you should fill in groups 1, 2 and 3 to be the names of the usergroups who have permission to see anon's IP addresses. See the examples below.

Using configuration options with Fandom Developers Wiki scripts

The instructions on this page describe how to use configuration options with a script. Here on the Fandom Developers Wiki, many scripts provide optional configuration settings as a mean to alter or enhance the default behavior of the script. When installing configuration options in your JavaScript file, please note that they need to go above the import statement in order to work — unless the directions say otherwise. In case MediaWiki:ImportJS is used to load the scripts, it will be executed last.

Configuration options load too late, don't work
// 1. AjaxRC import statement
importArticles({
    type: 'script',
    articles: [
        'u:dev:MediaWiki:AjaxRC.js'
    ]
});

// 2. AjaxRC configuration option
window.ajaxRefresh = 30000;
Proper placement of configuration options
// 1. AjaxRC configuration option
window.ajaxRefresh = 30000;

// 2. AjaxRC import statement
importArticles({
    type: 'script',
    articles: [
        'u:dev:MediaWiki:AjaxRC.js'
    ]
});

All logged-in users

This configuration allows the script to work for logged-in users, but it will not run for people who are logged-out. This means that anons cannot see other anons' IP addresses.

// https://dev.fandom.com/wiki/RevealAnonIP
window.RevealAnonIP = {
    permissions : ['user']
};

Rollbacks, Admins and Bureaucrats only

This configuration only allows the script to work for users who belong to one of the following user groups: rollback, sysop, bureaucrat

// https://dev.fandom.com/wiki/RevealAnonIP
window.RevealAnonIP = {
    permissions : ['rollback', 'sysop', 'bureaucrat']
};

List of user groups

Here is a basic list of user groups you can choose from while setting up permissions. Note: if your wiki is using custom user groups (requires community agreement and sending a message to Fandom staff at Special:Contact), you may have names that aren't on this list.

Value Description
staff Fandom staff members (Special:Listusers/staff)
util Fandom technical staff (Special:Listusers/util)
helper Fandom Helpers (Special:Listusers/helper)
bureaucrat Bureacrats on this wiki (Special:Listusers/bureaucrat)
sysop Administrators on this wiki (Special:Listusers/sysop)
rollback Rollback users on this wiki (Special:Listusers/rollback)
chatmoderator Chat moderators on this wiki (Special:Listusers/chatmoderator)
user Users on this wiki (Special:Listusers)
* Everyone (both logged-in and logged-out users)

Running this script together with AjaxRC

If you are using AjaxRC, please take note: this script automatically adds the RevealAnonIP.reveal function to your ajaxCallAgain array, that way it should work when the ajax refresh occurs. But, if you re-assign this array *after* importing RevealAnonIP/code.js in your JavaScript file, then you'll need to make sure that you re-add RevealAnonIP.reveal to the array.

window.ajaxCallAgain = [YOUR_FUNCTION_1, YOUR_FUNCTION_2, RevealAnonIP.reveal];

Where YOUR_FUNCTION_1 and YOUR_FUNCTION_2 are placeholder names for other functions that you might want to be calling after AjaxRC refreshes. See AjaxRC#Options for more information about getting other scripts to work together with AjaxRC.
