Invite anonymous readers who want help to join forum
Recommend a change like finiki's version that invites anonymous reader to join the forum. --Peculiar Investor 13:04, 23 January 2016 (EST)
 * I have revised the page to invite anonymous readers to join the forum but with a different sentence order. I recommend changing the sentence order in finiki's version, as it appears that you agree to be identified by your IP when joining the forum. --LadyGeek 20:05, 23 January 2016 (EST)
 * My line of thinking was that an anonymous reader who went to the trouble of providing feedback is a potential candidate as a forum member, where their unanswered question(s) could be addressed. Using this message gives us the opportunity to let them know there is another avenue than just providing feedback. I actually played around with both orders and decided that inviting someone to join was more important than telling them at their IP address is logged. The logging of IP address sentence comes from MediaWiki (and Wikipedia), where anonymous users can edit, so it is important to notify about the logging of IP addresses. It probably isn't even relevant in the case of our wikis. My intuition is if the invite to join follows the information about logging their IP address, they'll have stopped reading long before they see the invite to join. --Peculiar Investor 21:19, 23 January 2016 (EST)
