This is a documentation subpage for Template:IPcheck. It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
- This template exists to give a quick idea of an IP's background, who owns the IP address and if necessary, a quick way to find or open either a promotion nomination or a problem report.
- This template takes one expected parameter: an IP (without the prefix "User:"), for instance
{{IPcheck|127.0.0.1}}
. If this is not provided, the default will be "127.0.0.1". - This template begins with stable links: user page, talkpage, sock tag link, contribution history, contribution count, WHOIS, RDNS, trace, RBLs, http, logs and block log entry.
- This template also displays a list of conditional links to subpages titled with the IP's name: request for arbitration, request for comments on user conduct, long term abuse, request for checkuser, suspected sock puppets, and (only if they exist) the categories for confirmed and/or suspected sock puppets of this user.
- If this template cannot find a subpage for the IP address (perhaps because a request has not yet been accepted, e.g. for arbitration), it will form a gray link to the main topic page, trying to find
[[PAGENAME#IP Address]]
instead. Besides finding entries that may not have subpages, these links may ease creating nominations or reports. - Where several subpages may possibly exist (there could be more than one "arb", "rfc", or "socks"), this template links to a list of subpages for this username.
- To make the template also link to this IP's entry on Wikipedia:List of banned users, add the optional parameter
ban=y
. The "ban" link will appear between the "block log" and "arb" links. - This template does not require substitution.
