申訴專員委員會/2025/臨時帳號

2025年3月17日，申訴專員委員會發表了以下公開聲明：

親愛的查核員您好：

Temporary accounts (hereafter: TA) are coming. While we currently have only limited experience with the feature, based on initial deployments, the Ombuds Commission is issuing this preliminary guidance to all checkusers. Under TA, when a user makes an edit while not logged in, their IP address will be hidden from casual view. Instead, an account with a name similar to ~2025-1234567 will be created and all edits performed by the same IP address and browser (with some attempt to track a user as they move from one IP to another) for the next 90 days will be assigned to that account. After 90 days, the account will expire and a new one will be created. That's just a high-level overview; the T&S documentation for the feature should be consulted for more details.

Of particular interest to checkusers is that there will be a mechanism by which some users can see the underlying IP address(es) associated with a TA, and not everybody who has this access will be a signatory to the ANPDP. This means that publicly connecting a TA to a registered account will expose private data to users who are not authorized to see it. Checkusers should thus avoid connecting temporary accounts to a registered account in exactly the same way they now avoid connecting any private data obtained from the checkuser tool with a registered account.

這是一個不斷變化的環境。如果臨時帳號技術層面的運作原理與我們目前的理解有所不同，或者我們對該功能有了更多經驗與了解，我們可能會發布新的指引聲明。同時，我們督促所有查核員遇到不熟悉或不確定的情況時，務必謹慎行事，採取最保守的方式來揭露任何帳戶資料。
