Because <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki" class="extiw" title="en:MediaWiki">MediaWiki</a> (the wiki software) depends on IP addresses for administrator intervention against abuse, open proxies allow users to completely circumvent administrators. The use of scripts or unapproved <a href="/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/bot" title="Special:MyLanguage/bot">bots</a><span style="display:none"><a href="/wiki/Bot" title="Bot"> </a></span> allow malicious users to rapidly rotate IP addresses, causing continuous disruption that cannot be stopped by helpless administrators.
