→Gallery disclaimer
The first point simply says that these screenshots are JPEGs (*gasp*), and the second point seems to be senseless since Metapedia doesn't allow IP editing anyway, so there shouldn't be any IP info that had to be scrubbed. However, I admit that I didn't scan all screenshots in greater detail, so please correct me if I'm wrong. --[[User:DirkB|DirkB]] 16:30, 6 September 2008 (EDT)

: I agree that the reference to JPEGs is not necessary. As for the second point, it's clear that TerryH ''has'' deleted something (presumably an IP address), although I don't understand how it came to be there. The "log in" link shows that he was not logged in, but when I look at the site, in both IE and Firefox, both on Windows, no IP shows up there. So I don't know why it did for TerryH. Given that it did, however, I don't have a problem with that particular disclaimer point. [[User:Philip J. Rayment|Philip J. Rayment]] 23:16, 6 September 2008 (EDT)

::Oh, ''now'' I see it. I can explain that one, actually. The IP shows up only under certain conditions: Go to the site (or any other wiki you're not logged in to, from what I know) and click on the "Log in" link (or any link that leads to the "Login required to edit" screen, such as a redlink). From that moment on, until you close the tab/window, the IP will be displayed there. As long as you're a nice lurker and never try to log in or hit redlinks, you won't see your IP up there. --[[User:DirkB|DirkB]] 23:29, 6 September 2008 (EDT)
