History
Adapted from Template:IPvandal for use with IP accounts not involving vandalism -- mostly working with WikiProject Spam. Since so much inappropriate linking is done in good faith and therefore not necessarily spamming, the template is not incorporating a pejorative name such as vandal or spam. Several changes:
 * Deleted the "block user" function (admins only)
 * "deleted contribs" added later for any admins that want to check this
 * Added a "traceroute" link
 * Added CompleteWhois search (searches external blacklists such as Spamhaus)
 * Sometimes doesn't respond
 * Results sometimes require interpretation -- for instance, dynamic IPs are not open proxies, zombie PCs, or some other evil; all phone modems and many other connections use dynamic IPs
 * Added ippages.com -- similar to CompleteWhois, also requires interpretation
 * Added robtex.com -- similar to CompleteWhois, also requires interpretation
 * Sometimes doesn't respond
 * (became too small)
 * Added in "tor"
 * Added in Google search from Template:Proxyip2
 * Added "what links to user page"
 * Added "count" - Interiot's edit count tool from Template:User6
 * "user page logs" - block log, etc.
 * "x-wiki" - search contributions on all 700+ Wikimedia Foundation projects
 * Uses https://tools.wmflabs.org/guc/index.php
 * AboutUs link checks for any contributions by this IP to the AboutUs.org SEO directory of domains; if so, this can be useful in finding additional domains that may have been spammed

Future

 * Add link to the tester on the open proxy project on Wikipedia
 * Readd block user link
