reverting/removing chunks of text as an ip
It's possible (and is actually the norm). However because of recent problems with captcha, we've had to restrict edits and rights available to unregistered and new users to avoid problems. Sorry for the inconvenience, especially as you're one of the unregistered users who wants to help!  ~ PheNaxKian talk  22:43, 24 July 2011 (UTC)
 * I'm a registered user on my Pc (logging in on an iPod is a pain), i know about the recent spam and I was merely asking if the abuse filters' settings could be changed to allow ips to do a direct revert of another ip(/non autoconfirmed user) by making it direct revert only it would also prevent vandalism. Just an idea, idk if it's actually possible. 82.95.65.117 00:19, 25 July 2011 (UTC)

 * A brief look at the abuse filter options and I don't think it could be very easily done. It can only check the usergroups of the user making the edit, but it can get the usernames of the last 10 editors. I think a regex to compare the previous editor to an IP format could work, but I'm not very good with that. Although, it would also need to make sure that the edit is a revert and not a total blanking of the page taking advantage of the fact that the previous editor was an IP. --  Toraen   talk  01:09, 25 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Maybe you could havE it check if the edit changes exactly the same amount of text as the edit before, and revert must be part of summary? 82.95.65.117 12:01, 25 July 2011 (UTC)
 * the issue is we still have to check the previous editor was an IP.  ~ PheNaxKian talk  16:19, 25 July 2011 (UTC)
