Although those editing logged-out are often called "anons" on wikis, she/he are actually identified by her/his IP number. This is visible to the public in the edited page's history and [[Special:Recentchanges|recent changes]] each time they edit. For some editors, this doesn't give any information to others. But in some cases, for example if you are editing from a work computer, this may allow others to work out your location or other details. If you are worried about this, you should log in to edit. Your IP address will then not be visible to other contributors.
