Hi all,
As we work towards introducing temporary account auto-creation as part of
the IP Masking project, we need to decide how to distinguish between
anon/IP, registered and temporary accounts in features that flag these user
types differently, e.g. APIs, Recent Changes, etc.
If you are interested in this decision, please take a look at this task:
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T337103 and add any comments there.
Useful links for context:
* Temporary accounts documentation:

* IP Masking project page:
