===Giving yourself a name===
When you register, you will get to give yourself a username. When people edit anonymously, in the [[Special:RecentChanges|Recent changes]], their edits are accredited to their own IP number. This is visible to the public in the edited page's history and as mentioned, the recent changes, which many users check daily. In most cases your IP address will not mean anything or give information to editors who see it, but there is a security risk. 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, which will hide your IP.
