Most of the time it doesn't matter if someone knows your IP address, it might show your general location and what ISP you use for example. But sometimes it can give more information, like what school you go to, or more specific location details. So yes, it's for privacy/security reasons that we are careful about giving the ability to see IPs.

And I'm happy to help :) Good luck with the wiki!
