Forum:Show IP address to user

Is there a way, via an extension or simple Template coding, to show a user what IP address they are logging in from? I know the underlying PHP has access to the variable, but I'd like to expose it (if it isn't already) to the wiki level.
 * You could use http://whatsmyip.org -452 20:03, November 15, 2012 (UTC)
 * You can't do it. That wouldn't be allowed, unless you have CheckUser, a tool to find check users' IPs and their other accounts, but the information is only limited to CheckUser view. -- Plasma ( Talk ) 20:08, November 15, 2012 (UTC)
 * I don't know what you're talking about, http://whatsmyip.org works fine, it has nothing to do with wikia so doesn't require special permissions. -452 20:49, November 15, 2012 (UTC)


 * Okay, thanks for the quick answer. SnowWolf75 (talk) 20:11, November 15, 2012 (UTC)


 * I guess I could post this here as it relates to ip addresses, so where do I go to change the text it gives when a AWC edits instead of it saying Anonymous wikia contributer.. and also to add the IP address to the side of it? — Original  Authority  20:13, November 15, 2012 (UTC)


 * You can add this script. Fang³ (talk) 20:24, November 15, 2012 (UTC)


 * There would actually be a way to do this with javascript, since your IP address is already in the source of each page you are reading.
 * Right click on this page, and choose "view source" (exact steps may vary depending on brower).
 * Search the source for the phrase "Wikia Beacon Tracking" - the next line contains a URL with your IP.
 * I'll work on some javascript to display it and get back to you. :) -452 20:53, November 15, 2012 (UTC)
