	All individual edits made to the wiki (including talk pages and other types of special pages) are permanently recorded, with the username of the editor and the date and time of the edit. These records remain even if the page is later edited by someone else so thoroughly that none of the content written by you remains. This recording of all edits helps to resolve issues with vandalism by malicious editors. (If someone removes all content on a page and replaces it with garbage, the original content can be recovered in a few clicks, and the edit logs will show who did the vandalism.)

	Absolutely '''every''' web page of the FeministWiki that you visit (including forum, blogs, the on-site chat or email clients, etc.) generate an "access log" entry on the web server which contains your IP address ~~and~~ time of access. (Heads up: this is a standard feature of web servers and is done by '''every''' website you visit, unless they've specifically turned this function off, which is unlikely.) This helps with alleviating abuse of the website and searching for technical problems when for instance someone is getting error messages when trying to open pages.		Absolutely '''every''' web page of the FeministWiki that you visit (including forum, blogs, the on-site chat or email clients, etc.) generate an "access log" entry on the web server which contains your IP address, time of access, and optional information sent by your web browser.

This helps with alleviating abuse of the website and searching for technical problems when for instance someone is getting error messages when trying to open pages.

			Usually, your IP address cannot be traced back to your real identity, although it reveals the location of your internet service provider and therefore possibly an approximate geographic location. If this is an issue for you, please look into software such as the Tor Project or other ways to hide your IP address from websites you visit.

			The FeministWiki will absolutely never reveal the contents of the access logs to anyone.
