There are several aspects I don't feel comfortable with. I do understand the importance of documenting every change in a wiki.
I'm fine with all contributions being linked to my profile, but what bugs me is how easily people who know me personally can check out all of my activity without my knowledge or consent. This isn't even restricted to members, literally anyone can see how much I do, what I do and when I do it.
I would appreciate the option to hide my contributions and thank-you (and the respective counts) from my profile and the public in general. Of course if abuse is suspected moderators could access my stuff.
The when seems like the biggest issue to privacy and the least important for the wiki.
I don't like timestamps being accurate to the minute, it's a permanent trace of what I've done at that specific time. hundreds of these traces build a pattern about myself.
For the wiki to work intervals should be enough, rounded.
Instead of the logs being like this:
12:31: You added ...12:28: You added ...12:14: You added ...
9 Nov 2022
11:28: You added ...
they could be like this:yesterday: You added ...three minutes earlier: You added ...fifteen minutes earlier: You added ...two months earlier: You added ...
in parts the log could be reconstructed from this obfuscated display, but at least all dates and times that are a few weeks back are inaccurate, so people won't know If I did something during office hours or while on holiday.Also this is just about the displayed information, the servers can store all time stamps anyway.
