Template:SharedIPcolocation

File:Test Template Info-Icon - Version (2).svg Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

The {{SharedIPcolocation}} 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 one optional: the name of the organization to which the IP address is registered (preferably wikilinked or at least hyperlinked) (required); and the hostname (optional). It adds pages to Category:Static IP addresses used by Wikipedia users. It should not be substituted, but transcluded.

Usage

{{SharedIPcolocation|organization}}
{{SharedIPcolocation|organization|host=hostname}}

Caution

This template should only be used on IPs which appear to be a static address. Where there is no indication of this, the template should not be used. For shared IPs, use {{SharedIPcolocation}} instead.

Example

• {{SharedIPcolocation|[[Internet Assigned Numbers Authority|IANA]]}}

• {{SharedIPcolocation|[[Internet Assigned Numbers Authority|IANA]]|host=proxy.example.com}}
