Template:User IP address

Harmful dupe of template:User IP; template has no parameters Mach61 (talk) 04:21, 17 September 2023 (UTC)


 * Twinkle really is that easy Mach61 (talk) 04:24, 17 September 2023 (UTC)


 * Delete as making an untrue statement, because the user's address isn't 127.0.0.1, unless I am missing something. Robert McClenon (talk) 04:31, 18 September 2023 (UTC)
 * It is a true statement relatively speaking as it is conically true from their perspective. I am guessing this is a humourous userbox that plays off the fact that everybody's address is 127.0.0.1 to themselves.  Perhaps it can be renamed to make it clearer. -- Whpq (talk) 17:56, 18 September 2023 (UTC)
 * In that case, it is true but useless. It is useless because it provides no information on how to access the user.  (Of course, very few users have static IPv4 addresses, or static IPv6 addresses.  If you are looking at a user's user page, you already know their user ID.)  Robert McClenon (talk) 19:41, 18 September 2023 (UTC)
 * I think it's more for the user's own enjoyment and for the enjoyment of other network geek editors who see and think to themselves "Aha! I get that reference".  Pretty much like any other humourous user box.  For example, User generic expert is pretty much just as useless in terms of conveying any actual useful information. -- Whpq (talk) 19:54, 18 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep per Whpq's comments.--Jasper Deng (talk) 03:33, 19 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep - I was missing something, and the userbox is true but useless, and so has a reflexive humor. Robert McClenon (talk) 17:40, 19 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep: per Whpq. C LYDE TALK TO ME/STUFF DONE 03:17, 20 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Comment I’m fine with this being kept now that I know there’s a joke, but the name should be changed to User IP 127.0.0.1 and the current title should redirect to User IP Mach61 (talk) 11:56, 20 September 2023 (UTC)
 * @Mach61, about the first point, do you withdraw this nomination?
 * And a requested move can be started on the second point. C LYDE TALK TO ME/STUFF DONE 03:33, 21 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Yes Mach61 (talk) 03:36, 21 September 2023 (UTC)
