Attribution of edits done by IP users to their accounts, if created[edit]

An IP user 198.2.93.215 has a question about whether their edits will be immediately attributed to their account if they create one. I have never experienced such a situation so help is needed from users who have experience regarding this situation. Thank you —CrafterNova ^{[ TALK ] [ CONT ]} 05:55, 8 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello @CrafterNova:, thank you for the help! Looking forward to seeing the conversation around this, no matter the results! 198.2.93.215 (talk) 04:10, 9 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

This is 198.2.93.215. I went ahead and made an account, since I seem to be part of the Wikipedia process and all. Might as well make it official, right? Please do not @ that IP address anymore, as I won't be checking it. Instead, include this account. Looking forward to seeing if there's a process to attribute those old edits to this account! Thanks!

Global talk page for IPv6 anons[edit]

I've been tracking changes made by an IPv6 anon whose last 64 bits change frequently (which is natural), so it's unlikely I can attract their attention on a user talk page; best I could do was put a message on mine. It would be nice if such an anon could be alerted to messages on a global UT page, for example UT:aaaa:bbbb:cccc:dddd:: Could that be made to work? Or does it already work and I wasn't bold enough to try? David Brooks (talk) 17:02, 14 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
