The {{tl|Shared IP}} template is an IP user talk page template that shows helpful information to IP users and those wishing to warn or ban them. It takes two arguments, one required and two optional: the name of the organization to which the IP address is registered (preferably wikilinked or at least hyperlinked) (required), the hostname (optional), and the location of the computer using the IP address (optional). It adds pages to [[:Category:Shared IP addresses used by Wikipedia users]]. It should '''''not''''' be substituted, but transcluded.

=== Usage ===
<pre>
{{Shared IP|organization}}
{{Shared IP|organization|host=hostname}}
{{Shared IP|organization|location=location}}
{{Shared IP|organization|host=hostname|location=location}}
</pre>

====Caution====
This template should be used on IPs which appear to be or are likely to be shared by multiple users - typically IPs assigned to large institutions, or to a pool of [[Static IP#Static and dynamic IP addresses|dynamic IP]] addresses. Where there is no indication of this, the template should not be used. For static IPs, use {{tlx|Static IP}} instead. If an IPv6 address starts with "2002" or "2001" and the WHOIS info lists the organization as IANA, use [http://silmor.de/ipaddrcalc.html#ip46 this tool] ("6to4 and 6RD Network Prefix" for "2002" and "Teredo IP Decoding" for "2001") and then use WHOIS to find out the owner of the IPv4 address you received.

==== Examples ====
*<code><nowiki>{{Shared IP|[[Internet Assigned Numbers Authority|IANA]]}}</nowiki></code>
{{Shared IP|[[Internet Assigned Numbers Authority|IANA]]}}

*<code><nowiki>{{Shared IP|[[Internet Assigned Numbers Authority|IANA]]|host=proxy.example.com}}</nowiki></code>
{{Shared IP|[[Internet Assigned Numbers Authority|IANA]]|host=proxy.example.com}}

*<code><nowiki>{{Shared IP|[[Internet Assigned Numbers Authority|IANA]]|location=Example, USA}}</nowiki></code>
{{Shared IP|[[Internet Assigned Numbers Authority|IANA]]|location=Example, USA}}

*<code><nowiki>{{Shared IP|[[Internet Assigned Numbers Authority|IANA]]|host=proxy.example.com|location=Example, USA}}</nowiki></code>
{{Shared IP|[[Internet Assigned Numbers Authority|IANA]]|host=proxy.example.com|location=Example, USA}}
