Produces:
- 127.0.0.1 (talk • contribs • deleted contribs • what links to user page • COIBot • count • block log • x-wiki • noticeboards • LinkWatcher search || WHOIS • RDNS • traceroute • CompleteWhois • ippages.com • robtex.com • tor • Google)
- 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}}
