Opinions differ on the desirability of perfect anonymity. Some people believe that anonymity is synonymous with a lack of accountability, or may facilitate unproductive behaviour, or that contributing without a fixed identity is disempowering and unpleasant. Such people consider that creating an account and logging in may resolve such feelings.

 

 

There are many features of the [[MediaWiki]] software (which powers Wikipedia) that are only available to registered users. For example, registered users can mark edits as "minor". Minor edits can be filtered from the list of "Recent changes". We do not give the privilege to mark edits as minor to anonymous users because we do not know who is behind a given IP address at any time, so we cannot build a basis of trust. (Marking edits as minor if they are not is considered very rude.)

Also, you must be logged in if you want to [[Special:Upload|upload images]].

 

 

Aside from these features, you can customize the way MediaWiki behaves in great detail. You can change the entire appearance of the website by picking, for example, the previous "Standard" skin over the new default "MonoBook" skin, you can choose how you want mathematical formulae to be displayed, <!-- whether links should be underlined, --> how large the editing box should be, how many pages should be displayed in "Recent changes" and much more. <!-- You can even set your preferred date format, and articles will display dates according to your preference. -->

 

 

[[Wikipedia:Administrators|Administrators]] (sometimes known as sysops) can delete and undelete pages, protect them from being edited, edit protected pages, and block users for violation of our policies. They generally carry out the will of the wiki [[community]] on pages such as [[Wikipedia:Votes for deletion]]. For obvious reasons, only signed in users can become administrators. Usually it is sufficient to have done some semi-regular work on Wikipedia for a few months without clashing too much with others, though standards seem to be becoming stricter. If you are a signed in user and want to be an administrator, see '''[[Wikipedia:Requests for adminship]]''' for more information.

 

 

While in most Wikipedia polls, anyone can express their opinion, whether logged in or not, your opinion may be given more weight if it is attributed to a fixed identity with a record of sensible commentary and informed edits.
