Description Oliver Keyes 2012-07-18 16:00:44 UTC
See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:ArticleFeedbackv5/Pacific_Islands_Forum/169739 as an example - the actions are either the software being screwy *or* anon actions being marked as from the abuse filter. Either way, it needs to be fixed - anon actions should show as anon actions in the same way actions by editors appear.
Comment 1 Brion Vibber 2012-07-18 20:38:47 UTC
I don't see anything obviously attributing anything to the abuse filter there... can you clarify?
Comment 2 Platonides 2012-07-18 20:41:50 UTC
Maybe that's the line "Article Feedback V5 marked this post as helpful on 07:53, 18 July 2012", which doesn't make much sense (some automated marking?), although it isn't the abusefilter...
Comment 3 Fut.Perf. 2012-08-15 18:46:51 UTC
Yeah, obviously, "from the abuse filter" must have been a mistaken wording; what's meant is obviously "from the feedback tool". I agree this needs to be fixed; it confused the hell out of me when I first saw it. (I filed a duplicate as bug #39385)

Comment 5 Fut.Perf. 2012-08-16 07:24:56 UTC
Just pasting my original bug description from the duplicate filing in here, because I think it's a bit clearer:

When an anon user marks somebody else's feedback post as "useful" or
"non-useful", their action is shown in the "activity log" not under their IP
address, but under the generic name "Article Feedback V5", e.g. "Article
Feedback V5 marked this post as helpful on 12:58, 14 August 2012". This is bad,
because it implies that "Article Feedback V5" is some kind of uniform central
authority that judges feedback posts. Please change this to either show the IP
address as the agent of the action (just like logged-in user names are shown),
or some other generic string, e.g. "A non-logged-in user marked this post..."
Comment 6 Matthias Mullie 2012-08-17 15:52:22 UTC
Fix pushed to Gerrit (https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/20458/) & prototype. Now the IP will be displayed.
