"විකිපීඩියා:ගිණුමක් තනන්නේ ඇයි?" හි සංශෝධන අතර වෙනස්කම්

* The ability to edit without your [[IP address]] being visible to other users. (Your IP address is still saved and accessible to those highly trusted users who have the extremely rare [[Wikipedia:Checkuser|Checkuser]] permission.)

 

 

If you '''[[Special:Userlogin/signup|create an account]]''', you can pick a [[Wikipedia:Username|username]] '''provided it is available and unique.''' Edits you make while logged in will be assigned to that name. That means you will get full credit for your contributions in the page history (when not logged in, the edits are just assigned to your IP address). You can also view all your contributions by clicking the "My contributions" link, which is visible only when you are logged in.

 

You will have a permanent ''[[Help:Talk page#User talk pages|user talk page]]'' you can use to communicate with other users. You will be notified whenever someone writes a message on your talk page. If you choose to give an e-mail address, other users will be able to contact you by e-mail. This feature is ''anonymous''; the user who emails you will not know your e-mail address.

 

'''You do not need to reveal your offline identity''', but having an account gives you a fixed Wikipedia identity that other users will recognize. While we welcome anonymous contributions, logging in under a pseudonym lets you build trust and respect through a history of good edits. It is also easier to communicate and collaborate with an editor if we know who you are (at least, who you are on Wikipedia). It is also easier for veteran users to [[Wikipedia: Assume good faith|assume good faith]] from new users who take the effort to create an account (and you may well become a veteran user yourself some day!). You may well be afforded a great deal less leeway if you do not go to the trouble of making up a username.
