Tor check

Whois

Is there a technical reason why the whois link was changed from samspade to the toolserver? I find that samspade gives a bit more information in most cases. -- Mufka ^{(u) (t) (c)} 23:17, 27 October 2009 (UTC)

I was talking with a developer on IRC about samspade's tool and they told me that it was outdated by years. What does samspade have that whois on the toolserver doesn't? It also seems to me that the toolserver is faster, as an advantage. -- Mentifisto 09:46, 4 November 2009 (UTC)

As an entirely random example, compare toolserver with Samspade. Samspade tends to give more information if it is available. I wonder what they meant by outdated. They both pull from ARIN directly. -- Mufka ^{(u) (t) (c)} 11:55, 4 November 2009 (UTC)

As a not so random example, see [1] -- zzuuzz ^(talk) 12:31, 4 November 2009 (UTC)

I had noticed those too. They happened so rarely before (for me) that I didn't even consider them. I guess that's one good reason to keep the new version. Can the toolserver be made to show the information contained in my previous example? -- Mufka ^{(u) (t) (c)} 14:13, 4 November 2009 (UTC)

Why not just use the ARIN lookup. It seems like all the other tools just use it in a roundabout way. -- Mufka ^{(u) (t) (c)} 14:05, 11 November 2009 (UTC)

Compare ARIN to the toolserver outside America. These regional links already exist in the template. -- zzuuzz ^(talk) 14:25, 11 November 2009 (UTC)

OK. Looks like we're getting the best, most consistent results with what we're using currently. -- Mufka ^{(u) (t) (c)} 02:29, 12 November 2009 (UTC)

Change URL of RBLs

Hi, the RBLs link does not go directly to the RBL page of robtex. Instead it should go to http://www.robtex.com/ip/213.146.172.146.html#blacklists for example. --Bsadowski1 06:09, 17 July 2010 (UTC)

I think it's actually intended as an rDNS link, which is far more useful than DNSBLs. Additionally the blacklist entries do get a mention on the IP page. Rather than changing the link which is useful, it's the description that's not entirely correct. Over a WP:OP we've just called this link 'Robtex', but most probably won't know what that means. It's a bit more than an rDNS link. -- zzuuzz ^(talk) 08:04, 17 July 2010 (UTC)

Ah, okay. I guess that works also. I actually use robtex a lot. --Bsadowski1 23:19, 17 July 2010 (UTC)

Edit request from Unforgettableid, 28 July 2010, to remove links to RIR whois pages

{{editprotected}} This template has links to various RIR's whois pages. But it seems to me that the first link on the template, labeled "whois" -- which points to http://toolserver.org/~chm/whois.php?ip={{{1}}} -- is sufficient to fulfill everyone's whois needs. So could someone please remove the redundant RIR whois links? --unforgettableid | talk 00:41, 28 July 2010 (UTC)

That seems quite a big change to make unilaterally. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 02:50, 28 July 2010 (UTC)

ARIN changeover

ARIN changed to Whois-RWS back in July 2010. Since the old service apparently no longer works at all, I've boldly updated this template to use the new service. Uncle G (talk) 12:23, 4 September 2010 (UTC)

Done. Let me know if there is a problem (or revert or re-enable editprotected). Plastikspork _―Œ^(talk) 02:22, 20 September 2010 (UTC)

What is the need for this additional link? This footer is displayed when you are either already in the anon user's contributions page or on the user's talk page. It's pointless in the first case because it links to where you already are and redundant in the second because every talk page has a link to contributions in the toolbox. -- Mufka ^{(u) (t) (c)} 11:15, 22 September 2010 (UTC)

Before you could not link from the talk page on Wikipedia to the Wikipedia contributions by that user. You can now. mechamind90 17:21, 24 September 2010 (UTC)

I'm not clear on what you're saying. Which "talk page on Wikipedia" are you referring to? Article talk, user talk? Since the only talk page this template shows up on is the user talk, I assume that's what you mean. But there has always been a link to the user's contributions from the talk page. It's in the toolbox. -- Mufka ^{(u) (t) (c)} 00:55, 25 September 2010 (UTC)

Yes, I'm talking about the user talk page for an IP address. But the Wikipedia Contributions page was not accessible from the front. Even if it's accessible from somewhere else, an obvious option was not at the front. mechamind90 05:59, 25 September 2010 (UTC)

Sorry if I'm missing the justification here. On every user talk page, anon or not, there is a link to that user's contributions in the toolbox on the left of the screen. I would consider that an obvious option right at the front. Are you saying that link is not sufficient to get what you need? -- Mufka ^{(u) (t) (c)} 12:15, 25 September 2010 (UTC)

If all first warnings issued to that user are from Huggle, and no warnings are automatically issued by ClueBot, there would be no easy way, as the IP address doesn't always edit their own talk page. mechamind90 17:04, 25 September 2010 (UTC)

I'm afraid we're talking past each other and not understanding the other's points. Can you point me to an example talk page where the contributions link would not exist except for in the new anon footer? The user contributions link exists on every user talk page regardless of who has or has not edited the page. If you have happened to switch to the Vector skin, the toolbox is minimized by default. Is that why you can't see it? -- Mufka ^{(u) (t) (c)} 17:21, 25 September 2010 (UTC)

Permanently minimized? I don't see anywhere to expand it so it appears. mechamind90 19:37, 25 September 2010 (UTC)

Jumping in a bit late, I made the requested edit since it appeared to be non-controversial, but now it appears there is some objections. From my reading of the thread, it seems everyone agrees that the "toolbox" on the left side of the screen has a link to a user's contributions. The toolbox is (by default) minimized, so the link is not entirely obvious, but it is there. So, it seems as though the question is whether or having a redundant (unminimized) link is necessary. Is this correct? If you would like me to reverse the edit (or have someone else reverse the edit), just make an {{editrequest}} or do it yourself if you are able. I am entirely indifferent. Thanks! Plastikspork _―Œ^(talk) 21:11, 25 September 2010 (UTC)

If you're using Vector, the word "toolbox" should have an arrow next to it. If it points to the right, it is minimized. If it points down, it is maximized. Are you able to click the arrow? Are you using Vector? -- Mufka ^{(u) (t) (c)} 21:14, 25 September 2010 (UTC)

It seems like this change came about as a result of a misunderstanding by the OP. If there is no objection, I'm going to change it back. -- Mufka ^{(u) (t) (c)} 04:19, 27 September 2010 (UTC)

Remove "global blocks" link

IPv6 detection

Fun fact, this can be done without {{strfind short}} or friends. Replace this template with:

{{#iferror: {{#expr:{{{1}}}}}
| {{anontools/ipv6|{{{1}}}}}
| {{anontools/ipv4|{{{1}}}}}
}}

This will work because a valid IPv4 address is just a few numbers separated with dots, and #expr: will accept it as a floating-point value. However, hex digits separated with colons will not be accepted. (For ex. "{{#expr: 77.254.210.32 }}" (my IP) yields "77.254".) Matma Rex pl.wiki talk 18:16, 10 June 2012 (UTC)

Whois

Can we please replace Overlord's whois tool (now removed because toolserver has gone dead) with a commercial lookup site? I believe that was always the case before Overlord's tool so I don't see that's an issue. http://whois.domaintools.com/ seems to work ok and it's free for basic lookups, is there any objection to adding it to the template?

  • However, dnsstuff.com doesn't appear to work with IPv6 at all, so I commented out the link while I look for an acceptable replacement.
• The rDNS link was just the robtex whois page, so I removed it. The geolocate link gives the rDNS for IPv4, but I'll look for an acceptable replacement here as well.

HTTP links (WhatIsMyIPAddress.com, AfriNIC Whois) that support HTTPS

The purpose of this edit is to provide increased privacy and security for users by having the Anontools/ipv4 and Anontools/ipv6 templates use HTTPS for certain HTTP links that redirect to HTTPS. (In addition, in Anontools/ipv6, it is possible to reduce the number of redirects by using a more up-to-date URL for the RIPE NCC link.)

• In Template:Anontools/ipv4, http://whatismyipaddress.com/ip/ should be changed to https://whatismyipaddress.com/ip/ instead. (For example, http://whatismyipaddress.com/ip/133.41.136.55 generates an HTTP 301 redirect to https://whatismyipaddress.com/ip/133.41.136.55.)
• In Template:Anontools/ipv4, http://www.afrinic.net/cgi-bin/whois?searchtext= should be changed to https://www.afrinic.net/cgi-bin/whois?searchtext= instead. (For example, http://www.afrinic.net/cgi-bin/whois?searchtext=133.41.136.55 generates an HTTP 301 redirect to https://www.afrinic.net/cgi-bin/whois?searchtext=133.41.136.55.)
• In Template:Anontools/ipv6, http://www.afrinic.net/cgi-bin/whois?searchtext= should be changed to https://www.afrinic.net/cgi-bin/whois?searchtext= instead. (For example, http://www.afrinic.net/cgi-bin/whois?searchtext=2601:2:2380:128:e8fc:b087:c985:ca01 generates an HTTP 301 redirect to https://www.afrinic.net/cgi-bin/whois?searchtext=2601:2:2380:128:e8fc:b087:c985:ca01.)
• In Template:Anontools/ipv6, https://www.ripe.net/fcgi-bin/whois?searchtext= should be changed to https://apps.db.ripe.net/db-web-ui/#/query?searchtext= instead, in order to reduce the number of redirects. (As of now, test cases for this change can be viewed on this page.)

Subtemplates?

Is there any particular advantage to using subtemplates for the IPv4 and IPv6 links, instead of having them directly on the base template? As-is, the subtemplates make it harder to see the actual code that produces the links (even if only marginally), splits the edit history for this template up among three separate pages, and increases the weight of this template when used (which I ordinarily wouldn't care about for such a simple template, but it was enough of a concern for Template talk:Anontools#IPv6 detection [‍related template edit] years ago). 「ディノ奴千？！」^{☎ Dinoguy1000} 16:27, 4 March 2021 (UTC)

At this time, the contents of the subtemplates are also identical, as far as I can tell. 「ディノ奴千？！」^{☎ Dinoguy1000} 16:34, 4 March 2021 (UTC)

Please move Template:Anontools/ipv4 to Template:Anontools and delete/redirect Template:Anontools/ipv6. They are now exactly the same template and there is no longer any need for a separate template for ipv6 and ipv4. Tholme (talk) 18:44, 29 April 2021 (UTC)

 Not done (not done for now at least) - these have extensive histories and have had to be customized multiple times in the past; lets let these bake in for a while more - and also determine what if anything we want to do with the histories; I'd be more supportive of redirecting the old ones vs deleting in the event we need to go back. — xaosflux ^Talk 10:28, 10 May 2021 (UTC)

Robtex dead

It seems that https://www.robtex.com/whois is not functional; Don't know if it's just a temporary issue or if it's permanent and we should remove the link. _→AzaToth 16:19, 31 May 2021 (UTC)

geoip broken for ipv6 ranges

eg the geoip on Special:Contributions/2601:194:300:130:250D:335F:8C60:4259/64 will not work. It seems it's just a basic redirect. A slightly smarter replacement for cases where it's possibly a CIDR range would fix it. ProcrastinatingReader (talk) 00:13, 2 July 2021 (UTC)

Alternatively, could use Module:IP ProcrastinatingReader (talk) 00:25, 2 July 2021 (UTC)
