Template:IPcheck/doc


 * This template exists to give a quick idea of a IP's background, who owns the IP address and if necessary, a quick way to find or open either a promotion nomination or a problem report.
 * This template takes one expected parameter: an IP (without the prefix "User:"), for instance . If this is not provided, the default will be "127.0.0.1".
 * This template begins with stable links: user page, talkpage, sock tag link, contribution history, contribution count, WHOIS, RDNS, trace, RBLs, http, logs and block log entry.
 * This template also displays a list of conditional links to subpages titled with the IP's name: request for arbitration, request for comments on user conduct, long term abuse, request for checkuser, suspected sock puppets, and (only if they exist) the categories for confirmed and/or suspected sock puppets of this user.
 * If this template cannot find a subpage for the IP address (perhaps because a request has not yet been accepted, e.g. for arbitration), it will form a gray link to the main topic page, trying to find  PAGENAME instead. Besides finding entries that may not have subpages, these links may ease creating''' nominations or reports.
 * Where several subpages may possibly exist (there could be more than one "arb", "rfc", or "socks"), this template links to a list of subpages for this username.
 * To make the template also link to this IP's entry on TechInfoDepot:List of banned users, add the optional parameter ban=y. The "ban" link will appear between the "block log" and "arb" links.
 * This template does not require substitution.
