This was developed and implemented by @taavi who wrote it as a #MediaWiki extension, named "RealMe". It's open source (like all of the Wikipedia software) and can be used on any MediaWiki wiki: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:RealMe

@fs4c @wikipedia @taavi Uh, is that so? I don't think Stallman would agree with you about the use of word free software. Instead, he might suggest you to calling it free/libre software, or as he's recently taken to calling it, free plus libre software. 😂

The article I have linked is written by Dr. Stallman.
You should at least read what I posted before pushing OpenSource propaganda like you just did.
Why you guys don't love true freedom is a mistery to me.
