  Wikipedia looks to shield its editors from “an increase in threats.”
  
  from Chris Welch
  
  The Wikimedia Foundation will likely soon have to contend with “the rising noise of criticism from Elon Musk and others,” as founder Jimmy Wales recently put it. It’s already taking measures to safeguard the identity of those who edit pages on Wikipedia. One of those is a temporary accounts program that, as 404 Media describes it, will “give editors who are not logged in a temporary username rather than showing an IP address.” Some of these tools have previously been implemented to protect users in authoritarian countries. Now they’ll be used more widely as Wikipedia faces an unfavorite political climate in the US.
