anonymous editing

I would like to have one page on my site that users can edit anonymously--without creating a history that others can read. Can you do that? Do you find this valuable?

No, you cannot. All edits go in the history of the pages. You can delete the versions of the pages in the page history, but only moderators can do that. Do you find this valuable?

All edits made to a page (including locks, deletes, moves, etc.) will show up in the pages complete history. http://www.wetpaintcentral.com/page/how+to+view+recent changes/ However, only moderators may view/ban the IP address of an anonymous user. http://www.wetpaintcentral.com/page/sites+that+don't+require+registration/ Do you find this valuable?

Thanks! If I delete the versions of the pages in the page history, does the last version remain on the site? Do you find this valuable?

Yes. Deleted page versions cannot be used as the current version of the page. If you need to change the page to the way it used to look, you can always revert the page version by selecting "make current version." http://www.wetpaintcentral.com/page/Revert+or+Delete+Page+Versionn/ Do you find this valuable?
