Template:Socksuspectnotice/doc

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a documentation subpage for Template:Socksuspectnotice (see that page for the template itself).
It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.
  • This template notifies a user that he or she is suspected of using sockpuppets.
  • It is to be invoked on the user's talk page as:
         {{subst:socksuspectnotice|1=PUPPETMASTER}}
    replacing the term PUPPETMASTER with the account name of the suspected sockpuppeteer (without the "User:" prefix), and the number of the case involving this user, if there's more than one -- for instance, puppetmastername (2nd).
  • A case must have been created to report the sockpuppeteer (puppetmaster), otherwise the evidence link in this notification will be red, indicating that the page does not exist.
  • Complete directions for creating the case page, giving this notification, and posting warning boxes on the user pages of the suspected sockpuppets, are at Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets (WP:SSP).
