{{tl|editprotected}}


This IP is also shown as being an elite proxy by [https://www.us-proxy.org/], as well as some other IPs that appear to be educational. Should the template be changed to also say that it could be used by non-affiliated people?--[[Special:Contributions/69.223.191.153|69.223.191.153]] ([[User talk:69.223.191.153|talk]]) 00:21, 26 October 2015 (UTC)
I came to make some changes to the documentation to make it clearer that this template should NOT be subst:ed, and remembered this template is protected. So, I created the /doc subpage per [[WP:DOC]]. Please remove everything from the <nowiki><noinclude></nowiki> to the bottom of the page and replace it with:
<pre>
<noinclude>
{{Documentation}}
<!-- PLEASE ADD CATEGORIES AND INTERWIKIS TO THE /doc SUBPAGE, THANKS -->
</noinclude>
</pre>
The original categories, interwikis, and the {{tl|pp-template}} are on the /doc page which will be transcluded. Thanks. --[[User:Darkwind|Darkwind]] ([[User talk:Darkwind|talk]]) 15:53, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

== Template-protected edit request on 2 December 2015 ==
== Double categorisation ==


{{edit template-protected|Template:Shared IP edu|answered=yes}}
The template makes entries in categories on the same tree.--[[Special:Contributions/141.84.69.20|141.84.69.20]] ([[User talk:141.84.69.20|talk]]) 20:01, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

{{tlx|editprotected}}

I agree that IPs shouldn't be categorised into [[:Category:Shared IP addresses from educational institutions]] ''and'' [[:Category:Shared IP addresses]] because the latter is a parent of the former. I'm an admin, but I don't know enough about the code to fix it without maybe messing something up. --[[User:Geniac|Geniac]] ([[User talk:Geniac|talk]]) 15:11, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
:There is code on the page such that accounts are categorised into the first category no matter what namespace the template is used in, and the second category only in the User Talk namespace, so my guess is that someone was trying to implement some sort of system I don't understand the details of. I'm therefore not making this edit immediately until it's determined why the page is as it is at the moment, but am happy for someone else who understands what's going on to make it. --[[User:ais523|ais523]] 18:05, 27 February 2008 ([[User:ais523|U]][[User talk:ais523|T]][[Special:Contributions/Ais523|C]])
::Actually, the code in the <code><nowiki>{{#ifeq:</nowiki></code> function is much older than the [[:Category:Shared IP addresses from educational institutions]] code. When that subcategory was created, the category link was added without much forethought, such that it categorises in all instances. I don't think there is anything intentional about the difference. I have changed it to only categorise into [[:Category:Shared IP addresses from educational institutions]], and only on user talk pages, which is what should have happened when the subcategory was added way back in 2006. <font color="forestgreen">[[User:Happy-melon|'''Happy''']]</font>‑<font color="darkorange">[[User talk:Happy-melon|'''melon''']]</font> 12:57, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

== Template on user page? ==

Hello all- Anyone know if we are meant to put the template on the user page for the IP address as well as on the talk page? I didn't see any guidance regarding that in the Documentation section of the template page. -[[User:Eric|Eric]] [[User talk:Eric|<sup>talk</sup>]] 17:26, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

== "1 year or longer" ==

Previous wordings of that template included
* anonymous editing may be disabled for '''up to 1 year''' at a time
* <small>(starting last month)</small> anonymous editing may be disabled for '''1 year or longer''' at a time
Since we don't apparently all agree on whether or not we can block for longer than a year (and what's "longer" than a year?), I think it might be a good idea to drop the "1 year" milestone altogether. What do you think? -- [[User:Lucasbfr|<span style="color:#002BB8;">lucasbfr</span>]] <sup>[[User talk:Lucasbfr|<span style="color:#001F7F;">talk</span>]]</sup> 09:50, 4 November 2008 (UTC)
:I am a rather profligate user of this template. I changed the template last month as many 1-year blocks on school IPs were expiring (new school year) and I noticed that a number of fellow admins were re-blocking these IPs who were immediately returning to vandalism (and in many cases had multiple 1 year blocks) with 18 month or 2 year blocks. I also have issued a number of 18 month or 2 year blocks, after 1 year blocks expired. It seemed disingenuous to say an IP may be blocked for up to a year, when in practice they may be blocked for longer. If folks feel that it should be changed back, I would not object. [[User:Toddst1|Toddst1]] <small>([[User talk: Toddst1|talk]])</small> 14:59, 4 November 2008 (UTC)
::As I explained [http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?&oldid=249712273#Re:_Template:SharedIPEDU here] I would reinsert ''up to 1 year''. However I would not object reinserting ''1 year or longer'' as well. In any case one of both alternatives should be reinstered. —[[user:aitias|αἰτίας]] ''•''[[User talk:Aitias|''discussion'']]''•'' 22:31, 4 November 2008 (UTC)
:::The original wording was '''up to 6 months''' because the admin who added it often blocked k-12 schools for 6 months at a time. Since many schools still vandalised after a 6 month block, the wording was changed to '''up to 1 year'''. There will undoubtedly be many IPs (particularly k-12 schools) that'll continue vandalising after a one year block, so the next thing you know, it may be changed to "up to 2 years". I think it's better to remove the phrase and let the block templates say the duration. [[User:Spellcast|Spellcast]] ([[User talk:Spellcast|talk]]) 20:12, 6 November 2008 (UTC)
::::I agree with you, "up to 2 years" sounds kinda silly.

== dnsstuff for the host field? ==

Is it just me, or does the DNSstuff website that you get by clicking the host link ''never'' work? I always get the message "Access to DNSstuff tool results requires that you own the DNSstuff Professional Tool Set and remain logged in".

== Request for edit to fix AR link ==
{{tlx|editprotected}}
As part of the [[Wikipedia:Abuse_response/2009_Revamp| total revamp]] of the old Abuse Report system we have moved and renamed the project to [[Wikipedia:Abuse response]]. As part of the last stage of the rename the main page was recently moved. While there is a redirect from the old [[Wikipedia:Abuse report]] main page we are trying to change all the links we can. Since this high visibility template links to the abuse response system we were wondering if you could make the following change:

Replace: <nowiki> [[Wikipedia:Abuse reports|Abuse reports]] </nowiki>

With: <nowiki> [[Wikipedia:Abuse response|Abuse reports]] </nowiki>

If for some reason you are hesitant to do this edit please feel free to contact me or any of the other contacts listed on [[Wikipedia:Abuse response]]. [[User:Jamesofur|Jamesofur]] ([[User talk:Jamesofur|talk]]) 07:57, 9 September 2009 (UTC)

== Link not working ==

The "read our advice on this situation" link is not working. It goes to [[Wikipedia:Why_create_an_account%3F#Blocked.3F]], but it should go to [[Wikipedia:Why_create_an_account%3F#Can.27t_create_an_account_because_your_IP_address_is_blocked.3F]].

==Grammatical error==
The template reads:
:School staff who want to monitor this IP address for vandalism '''can''' subscribe to a web feed of this page in either RSS or Atom format.
This should read "'''may''' subscribe..." --[[User:Walter Görlitz|Walter Görlitz]] ([[User talk:Walter Görlitz|talk]]) 03:56, 11 December 2009 (UTC)
::Hello Walter- I think ''can'' is good there, as ''may'' carries a connotation of permission or likelihood. For example: ''Students who have questions can call the professor at home, but may not do so after 10 pm.'' In any case, you can see how to request a template edit by going to the template tab, then the view source tab. [[User:Eric|Eric]] [[User talk:Eric|<sup>talk</sup>]] 14:58, 11 December 2009 (UTC)

== registered to v used by ==

In some cases it is clear which specific educational institution has long-term use of an IP address (eg by editing a specific school page), but the WHOIS doesn't make it clear that it's a school. What about an extra field <tt>|usedby</tt> ("appears to be used by") to accommodate this situation? [[User:Rd232|Rd232]] <sup>[[user talk:rd232|talk]]</sup> 18:52, 15 April 2010 (UTC)

== Stylistic updates and changes ==

Please indicate any feedback on changes that may be viewed at [[Template:Shared IP edu/sandbox]] and in comparison at [[Template:Shared IP edu/testcases]]. The changes are to make wording consistent, increase visability of the symbol, add a descriptive title, minimize instructions to administrators consistent with other templates, and change certain images consistent with their meanings on user warning templates.
Please note that the documentation template is commented out on the sandbox page to avoid unintentional category listing.
I'd like to proceed with replacing the code in three days unless feedback warrants delay. --[[User:Bsherr|Bsherr]] ([[User talk:Bsherr|talk]]) 09:30, 12 August 2010 (UTC)

== Edit Request because of improper formatting, and down tool ==

{{tlx|editprotected}}
This template currently has a whois tool link for the hostnames, '''not all schools or even organzations do there DNS in such a way'''.
:''Side Note:'' Currently the host in the tool is samspade which is down. I would suggest what you use for your IP User footer, the rdns tool doesn't work.

<u>'''I suggest for IP users'''</u>
*Example of an External IP tool, that does RDNS and GeoLocate
**http://www.dnsstuff.com/tools/ipall/?tool_id=67&token=&toolhandler_redirect=0&ip=71.168.81.235
*Example of an External IP Tool, that does Whois
**http://www.dnsstuff.com/tools/whois/?ip=71.168.81.235


But, for the current template I would like it changed to show the ip, and a ip whois tool using the current whois tool we have on the tool server, or the one I mentioned above, otherwise including anything in the template is pointless in my opinion.
*ToolServer Tool - Only does NIC Whois

==Additional wording==
{{edit protected|answered=yes}}
I would like to suggest the addition to this template of some wording that is already on {{tl|Whois}}: ''If you are an unregistered user operating from this address, note that it is possible for the owner of the IP to determine who was making contributions from this address at a given time.'' I have found that when I add <nowiki>{{whois}}</nowiki> to an IP talk page, they are MUCH less likely to repeat vandalism than if I don't add this. I'm convinced that this statement informing users that someone can identify who is editing has a positive effect on preventing repeat vandalism. If the same effect could be realized in relation to schoolchildren's edits, I think it could be a considerable benefit to Wikipedia.

The code that replaces the ''IP address'' parameter with the actual IP address uses a dead tool from labs (https://tools.wmflabs.org/splinetools/whois/ip/). Could someone replace the code so that it directs to a whois that works? Perhaps whatismyipaddress.com which is what the Geolocate button at the bottom of IP talk and contribution pages links to?

The template currently states "it is possible for your institution's administration to determine who was making contributions from this [IP] address" which is blatantly false.

If this template is used without the name parameter, then the template text reads:

"Your IP address, xxx.xxx.xx.x , and may be shared by multiple users, so you might receive messages on this page that were not intended for you."

::If it's not shared, it's not in the spirit of this template to tag them this way; that's what {{tl|whois}} is for. If one were to actually READ the template, it's a reminder to [[WP:AGF|assume good faith]] (which is something we're supposed to do), but it's more or less become a "keep reblocking me long term indefinitely even if they reassign me to something that isn't a school or even if someone with a brain in their head wants to edit from a school" template, almost like a virtual "kick me" sign.

Why does this template say that "abuse reports" will be sent to network administrators? To me, that sounds like Wikipedia will notify the school, but someone assured me that it wouldn't happen.

I tried to add this template to a talk page using Twinkle, but it won't display correctly. The page is here: [[User talk:166.91.10.194]]. If anyone could fix it/tell me why/how I broke it I'd be grateful.

School/Elite proxy

[edit]

This IP is also shown as being an elite proxy by [1], as well as some other IPs that appear to be educational. Should the template be changed to also say that it could be used by non-affiliated people?--69.223.191.153 (talk) 00:21, 26 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Template-protected edit request on 2 December 2015

[edit]

The code that replaces the IP address parameter with the actual IP address uses a dead tool from labs (https://tools.wmflabs.org/splinetools/whois/ip/). Could someone replace the code so that it directs to a whois that works? Perhaps whatismyipaddress.com which is what the Geolocate button at the bottom of IP talk and contribution pages links to? Stabila711 (talk) 22:17, 2 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I updated the template to remove the deadlink, but will need to get better consensus here as to exactly what to change this to, and ensure it is well tested. Note, the footer of all ip talk pages ALREADY has WHOIS and ALL the RIR links. — xaosflux Talk 23:40, 4 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
The relevant piece of code could be copied from {{whois}} I think. Bazj (talk) 08:32, 5 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Feel free to mock it up in Template:Shared IP edu/sandbox (I synced that sandbox before the last edits), after sandboxing go through the testcases - if they all work feel free to open a new edit request to have it synced to the main template. If you just wanted to suggest someone else work on it, they can do the same. — xaosflux Talk 14:39, 5 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

If this template is used without the name parameter, then the template text reads:

"Your IP address, xxx.xxx.xx.x , and may be shared by multiple users, so you might receive messages on this page that were not intended for you."

Can the " , and" after the IP address be included only if the first parameter is specified?

Abuse reports

[edit]

Why does this template say that "abuse reports" will be sent to network administrators? To me, that sounds like Wikipedia will notify the school, but someone assured me that it wouldn't happen. Is that just saying that vandalism will be reported to WP:AIV? I think the template should be made more clear. Kailey 2001 (talk) 23:55, 28 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Schoolhouse

[edit]

There have been a few times that editors have expressed a dislike for the "juvenile" schoolhouse image. I wonder if something derived from File:L'Etude-Boizot-BMA.jpg might be a more mature choice. Thoughts? LeadSongDog come howl! 19:04, 3 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I think you've gone a little too far in the other direction. Perhaps a mortarboard would be better? 146.96.41.154 (talk) 20:21, 16 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
How about this version of Wikipe-tan? It's an accurate depiction of roughly half of the people who vandalize from these IPs; on one hand, it might make them more inclined to be a productive part of Wikipedia when they see an image they can relate to, while on the other hand, it tells them "yeah, we know you popular girls vandalize and its not just computer nerds."

Bold differentiation text for Shared IP X

[edit]

Please revert this edit [2] in accordance with WP:BRD. All of the Shared IP X templates bold the part of the template that differentiates them, thus on this template it is the part that says educational institution. Another possibility would be to add a title line instead of the bold text, but something should be retained to do this, and it should be made consistent with the other templates. Let's discuss what's best. Bsherr (talk) 15:20, 10 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Please change

[[Special:Userlogin|Create an account!]]

to

[[Special:CreateAccount|Create an account!]]

to avoid a misleading link. The text "Create an account" should lead to the page for creating an account.
