  • Example:
    • {{subst:User:A. B./IPwhois|127.0.0.1}}

  • I adapted this 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, I did not want use a template incorporating a perjorative name such as vandal or spam. I made several changes:
    • Deleted the "block user" function (I'm not an admin)
    • Later added "deleted contribs" 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
    • Gave the stuff in parentheses a small font
    • 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 http://toolserver.org/~luxo/contributions/contributions.php]
      • For now, all this does is link to the tool -- you'll have to enter the IP address manually
      • Note: this tools works intermittently and may sometimes miss contributions on entire projects. For the sake of brevity, it lists no more than 20 contributions per project.
    • Linkwatcher -- searches for all external links added to en.wikipedia from early June 2007 onwards
      • Uses http://toolserver.org/~shadow1/cgi-bin/linksearcher.pl
      • Note: This tool sometimes misses link additions
      • This tool also picks up link additions that are reversions of page blanking by vandalism patrollers and anti-vandalism bots, so not every link addition you turn up with this is spamming!
    • Noticeboard search of selected noticeboard entries such as WP:ANI

Future:


  • Note to others: Please use "subst"
    • I use this template without transclusion on user pages -- it lets me track what user pages I've used this on (via Special:Whatlinkshere/User:A._B./IPwhois
    • If you use "subst", you won't add your edits with this template to my list. (Thanks!)
  • If you want to use this template to track user pages you've edited, just plagiarize it to a subpage of your own
    • Create a user subpage named User:John Doe/IPwhois (if your user name is John Doe)
    • Copy the source code for this page to your new page
    • Use your new template like this: {{User:John Doe/IPwhois}}
