[edit] Note

I suggest that a prominent note be made that the application of the template does not mean that anyone with the IP address has committed vandalism and that the template, or one like it, should be added to all IP addresses that edit Wikipedia. -- Kjkolb 17:42, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Suggestion for host= Parameter

I would like to suggest adding a host parameter similar to what Template:SharedIPEDU has. --Smiller933 04:51, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Adding a Documentation section

I think this template needs a Documentation section. I have created a copy of this template at User:Smiller933/sandbox and added a documentation section. I modeled the documentation section after the one for Template:SharedIPEdu. Any comments or suggestions? If nobody objects in a couple days, I'll be bold and apply this change to this template.  :-) --Smiller933 05:04, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

I've applied this change. --Smiller933 (talk) 03:59, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Irresponsible

It is not appropriate to post this template along with an IP address on a public web page. You're offering an annoying weapon to vindictive people, and potentially causing real-life problems for people who may or may not be innocent. 90.211.193.153 (talk) 10:59, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
