Wikipedia:WikiProject on XFFs is now a soft-redirect to meta:XFF project, so having sentences linking to both are redundant. Please remove "Alternatively, you can list this IP address at Wikipedia:WikiProject on XFFs". Thanks. Kharkiv07 (T) 23:46, 16 June 2015 (UTC)

Please replace all instances of :toollabs:splinetools
with :toollabs:myrcx
(eg. [[:toollabs:splinetools/whois/domain/
becomes [[:toollabs:myrcx/whois/domain/
). This is due to the original tool being abandoned and no longer working - I have made a copy of the code (GitHub) and will continue to maintain it on toollabs. A discussion was opened on WP:VPT (but has so far not had any comments).

Could someone please remove If you are autoblocked repeatedly, contact your Internet service provider or network administrator and request it contact Wikimedia's XFF project about enabling X-Forwarded-For HTTP headers on its proxy servers so that blocks will affect only the intended user.
, as it does not make sense for static IPs. Also, Administrators: review contributions carefully if blocking this IP address or reverting its contributions. If a block is needed, consider a soft block using Template:Anonblock
should be wrapped in <span class=sysop-show">...</span>
, as it only applies to admins

this IP address may represent more than one user, accessing the Internet via several personal computers or devices, and per WP:Blocking IP addresses,
even static IP addresses are periodically re-assigned or have different users, so I was thinking that autoblocks could possibly be relevant to static IPs. I don't mind letting this stand, but just an FYI, I had some concerns. — Andy W. (talk) 00:33, 17 November 2016 (UTC)

The WHOIS links for the template now result in 404's. Could someone switch the URL to /whois/gateway.py?lookup=true&ip=(insert IP here) Kb03 (talk) 16:33, 1 March 2019 (UTC)

Please replace '''[[Special:Userlogin|Create an account!]]'''
with '''[[Special:CreateAccount|Create an account!]]'''
, so that "Create an account" links to the page to create an account.
Please also change [[Special:Userlogin|registering an account]]!
to [[Special:CreateAccount|registering an account]]!
for the same reason (registering an account is the same as creating one).

The wording of this template includes "In response to vandalism from this IP address, abuse reports may be sent to its network administrator for investigation."
It is an implicit accusation of vandalism and moreover, I have had it placed many times by two different people, who then take exception to me removing it and replace it with aggression eg "I can keep this up forever." Said user accused me of editing rail articles from Rochester, which I never have. Interestingly, they said "the static IP template is not a shaming device and you need not feel attacked by it'. The other user is a self professed stalker of wikipedia vandals. Well, fair enough, if someone thinks I am vandalizing then post the details and let's deal with it. But placing the template as currently worded is just plain passive aggressive and a device for stalkers to harass without engaging in the substance of an allegation towards resolving anything.
Well, if the offensive words I have identified are removed from the template, then I would not find it a shaming device and I would be quite accepting of the template being used on my talk page. But until then, it is just plain wrong. 78.33.185.122 (talk) 19:54, 28 May 2020 (UTC)
Years of discussion and improvement has left a weapon for harassment. Fair enough if you don't want to rake over that, but your apologies for the wording don't cut it. I am not challenging the existence or use of templatesin general and it is disingenuous of you to suggest that I am. I am actually complaining about the wording within the template and making a suggestion to make it more acceptable. Alternatively, you might consider forking the template to one for static IP's in general and another for accusations of vandalism. As it is, I consider that the use of the template as is is offensive when there is no evidence of vandalism. 78.33.185.122 (talk) 20:30, 11 June 2020 (UTC)
My page is as it is because I have had aggressive people place and replace the template. It is not an issue of being a good editor or not. It is a matter of being accused falsely of vandalism. No one has produced evidence, but they seem fine to accuse me of editing rail articles about Rochester and placing an offensive accusation. Are you a good editor? 78.33.185.122 (talk) 22:01, 11 June 2020 (UTC)

template. How would you word it so that in your eyes it would not read as an accusation of vandalism and still get the idea across that vandalism won't be tolerated? P.I. Ellsworth ed. put'r there 22:47, 11 June 2020 (UTC)As you are getting personal over talk pages, whose talk page says this: "Editing Wikipedia is voluntary, so let it always be lots of fun!"?. An ideal for you to facilitate for others.
Yes, I did get involved in an edit war, but stopped when the rules were pointed out. And as you should know, an edit war is not vandalism. There have been no complaints in 6 months, there is nothing on going and it really is time for you to let it go, especially as you were never involved.
As for how would I word it, now you are moving into the realm of being constructive. I would suggest "If vandalism is noted from this IP address, abuse reports may be sent to its network administrator for investigation." I have looked at the 'edit request' page and I don't think the change is genuinely controversial, it is just about making Wikipedia that little bit less unfriendly, so I set the flag accordingly. 78.33.185.122 (talk) 23:34, 11 June 2020 (UTC)
