 The Code of Conduct also states, ''"Disclosure of some identifying information is not consent to disclose other identifying information,"'' which typically means that even if a person links to their Twitter account on their wiki userpage and reveals their name and political motives on that Twitter account, a wiki defender isn't permitted to say, "Person X is a subversive agent. They revealed their name and political motives on their Twitter account, which they linked to on their wiki userpage."
