Template:Singtel
Welcome!
Interested in becoming a regular contributor to Wikipedia? Create an account! This IP address, , is part of a pool of dynamically allocated addresses registered to Singtel Fibre Broadband, an ISP owned by Singapore Telecommunications Ltd and is shared by multiple users. Comments left on this page may be received by other users of this IP and appear to be irrelevant. If you are an unregistered user operating from this address, note that this is not the IP address of your machine. Singtel is the IP address of a proxy server that communicates between your browser and the Wikimedia Foundation servers. This and other proxies are shared among thousands of Singtel users. To have your own user pages, keep track of articles you've edited in a watchlist, and have access to a few other special features, please consider registering an account! It's fast and free. (Note: Sometimes, due to vandalism, you may be temporarily unable to register). Please note: Singtel users often change IP addresses with each page they load. Warnings or messages left on this page will not likely be received by the intended user. Applying an indefinite block to this IP is not appropriate, unless it is a soft block, because the IP address will later be reallocated to a different, unrelated, and unsuspecting user, thereby impairing access to Wikipedia in an inappropriate fashion. Caution should be used when blocking this IP or reverting its contributions without checking.
The best approach is to determine the CIDR IP numerical address range and make a higher-level decision to soft-block the entire range. http://www.arin.net/ (for approximately North America) and related sites can help to identify that range. Caution is advised when applying a range block as other Wikipedians, both registered and otherwise, may be affected.
Review contributions carefully if blocking this IP address or reverting its contributions. If a block is needed, administrators should consider a soft block using Template:Anonblock. Network administrators, to monitor this IP address for vandalism, can subscribe to a web feed of this page in either RSS or Atom format. |
Usage
Paste the following wikicode on the top of the page:
{{Singtel}}
- Adds pages to Category:Shared IP addresses used by Wikipedia users
- This template is a subset of Template:SharedIP and a fork of {{AOL}}
- You should transclude this template (in the format:
{{Singtel}}
) for tracking and maintenance purposes, because it is likely to change.Do not substitute (subst) it. Transclusion allows easy updating of all of these templates throughout the project without having to track down and edit hundreds of pages containing different versions of the same template. - The only solution currently is to use secure login during autoblocks.
