Produces:


 * Example:


 * I adapted this 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, I did not want use a template incorporating a perjorative name such as vandal or spam. I made several changes:
 * Deleted the "block user" function (I'm not an admin)
 * Later added "deleted contribs" 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
 * 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 http://toolserver.org/~luxo/contributions/contributions.php]
 * For now, all this does is link to the tool -- you'll have to enter the IP address manually
 * Note: this tools works intermittently and may sometimes miss contributions on entire projects. For the sake of brevity, it lists no more than 20 contributions per project.
 * Linkwatcher -- searches for all external links added to en.wikipedia from early June 2007 onwards
 * Uses http://toolserver.org/~shadow1/cgi-bin/linksearcher.pl
 * Note: This tool sometimes misses link additions
 * This tool also picks up link additions that are reversions of page blanking by vandalism patrollers and anti-vandalism bots, so not every link addition you turn up with this is spamming!
 * Noticeboard search of selected noticeboard entries such as WP:ANI
 * Uses http://toolserver.org/~eagle/enwikiboardsearch.php?

Future:
 * Add http://torstatus.kgprog.com/tor_exit_query.php


 * Note to others: Please use "subst"
 * I use this template without transclusion on user pages -- it lets me track what user pages I've used this on (via Special:Whatlinkshere/User:A._B./IPwhois
 * If you use "subst", you won't add your edits with this template to my list. (Thanks!)


 * If you want to use this template to track user pages you've edited, just plagiarize it to a subpage of your own
 * Create a user subpage named User:John Doe/IPwhois (if your user name is John Doe)
 * Copy the source code for this page to your new page
 * Use your new template like this:
