History

Adapted 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, the template is not incorporating a pejorative name such as vandal or spam. Several changes:

• Deleted the "block user" function (admins only)

  "deleted contribs" added later 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 (became too small)
• 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 https://tools.wmflabs.org/guc/index.php

• AboutUs link checks for any contributions by this IP to the AboutUs.org SEO directory of domains; if so, this can be useful in finding additional domains that may have been spammed

Future

• Add link to the tester on the open proxy project on Wikipedia
• Readd block user link

Userspace link templates

User information templates provide informational links for a user; they are similar to signatures, but often provide additional information, and may be used by other users. List:

• Standard
• For admin pages
• Bots/admin log
• Signature addition

Demo user used is User:Example
