The list below consists either of editors who are certain there is no information on Wikipedia that leads to their real-life IDs, or else who are willing to deal with the consequences that difficult edits can lead to. Editors on the list should feel free to remove their names at any point without giving a reason.
Editors who are on this list and who like userboxes might like to add {{User difficultedits}} to their user page. This adds the following userbox:
