The {{Shared IP}} template is an IP user talk page template that shows helpful information to IP users and those wishing to warn or ban them. It takes two arguments, one required and two optional: the name of the organization to which the IP address is registered (preferably wikilinked or at least hyperlinked) (required), the hostname (optional), and the location of the computer using the IP address (optional). It adds pages to Category:Shared IP addresses used by Wikipedia users. It should not be substituted, but transcluded.
Usage
{{Shared IP|organization}}
{{Shared IP|organization|host=hostname}}
{{Shared IP|organization|location=location}}
{{Shared IP|organization|host=hostname|location=location}}
Caution
This template should be used on IPs which appear to be or are likely to be shared by multiple users - typically IPs assigned to large institutions, or to a pool of
{{Static IP}} instead. If an IPv6 address starts with "2002" or "2001" and the WHOIS info lists the organization as IANA, use this toolExamples
