This would block read access to Wikipedia as discussed on the Talk Page, and I can't see any reason why it would make sense to do that, given that some users may be using it to bypass content blocks by censors. It also looks like these IPs are not active either...

  • Not convinced. It may need updating, but I see no reason to remove the page. What this does is allow people to edit without using the Tor network, ie an exit node operator on the same IP can still edit without using Tor. This actually allows them to both edit Wikipedia and run a node for the rest of the Internet. For users using Tor, they will automatically switch to another exit node, of which there are many, in order to read Wikipedia. -- zzuuzz (talk) 11:12, 24 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
