Template:Unsigned IP is permanently protected from editing because it is a heavily used or highly visible template. Substantial changes should first be proposed and discussed here on this page. If the proposal is uncontroversial or has been discussed and is supported by consensus, editors may use {{edit template-protected}} to notify an administrator or template editor to make the requested edit. Usually, any contributor may edit the template's documentation to add usage notes or categories.
Any contributor may edit the template's sandbox. This template does not have a testcases subpage. You can create the testcases subpage here. |

- Not done for now: please establish a consensus for this alteration before using the
{{edit template-protected}}
template. I made this change, thinking that it made sense, but as I was responding here, I realized that {{unsigned}} uses the same syntax, and this template has looked the same for a while (Since 2007, apparently.). I am in favor of this change, but it should be discussed, and any change should be applied to {{unsigned}} at the same time, so that talk page should be notified of this discussion. – Jonesey95 (talk) 02:55, 10 November 2020 (UTC)- Also see the text of other related templates listed in {{Unsigned templates}}. – Jonesey95 (talk) 02:57, 10 November 2020 (UTC)

I would like to replace the <small> tags with <span> tags, to match that of {{subst:Unsigned}} (see Special:Diff/989618168):
<small class="autosigned">
→<span class="autosigned" style="font-size:85%;">
</small>
→</span>

- Not done: This template's code is simpler. I have reverted a convoluted edit to {{Unsigned}} by a controversial editor (which was followed by a good-faith edit to clean it up instead of a revert) so that these two templates are matched again. Thanks for noticing this inconsistency. – Jonesey95 (talk) 14:29, 19 September 2022 (UTC)

Description of suggested change:
This is a duplicate request to another for {{unsigned}}
. That request was declined, after (correctly) noting that prepended space chars for usernames are ignored by both [[User:<user>]]
and [[Special:Contributions/<user>]]
.
However for some reason, the automatic removal of a prepended space char does not seem to apply to IP addresses in [[Special:Contributions/<IP user>]]
links. Compare (the corrected unsigned IP links at) newer edit with (my not working unsigned IP links in) older edit for a wide swath of examples.
To pick out an example, see the signature for the comment "I am sure Accenture would be bigger than SAP." User:_144.36.234.188 works as expected, while Special:Contributions/_144.36.234.188 does not (observe the correct Special:Contributions/144.36.234.188 has entries). Because copying and pasting Wikipedia link text tends to include a leading space, this certainly has affected a few of my previous manual signing edits, and I worry it may affect other pages as well; since this is a subst template, I'm not sure CX Zoom's fix will address older errors.
Diff:
From:
{{{1<noinclude>|Example</noinclude>}}}
To:
{{{{{|safesubst:}}}trim|{{{1<noinclude>|Example</noinclude>}}}}}}}

- Unless there is a developer use-case for the leading space in IP addresses, maybe this belongs at phab:? Tule-hog (talk) 20:35, 25 October 2024 (UTC)
- I submitted T378357, but bugs sometimes take years to get fixed. Unless there are any objections, I recommend adding {{trim}} to this template. – Jonesey95 (talk) 14:59, 28 October 2024 (UTC)
- Done I took a look at the code to see how easy it would be to trim the IP address in Special:Contribs, and it looked like it wasn't a quick fix, so let's go! * Pppery * it has begun... 02:45, 4 November 2024 (UTC)
