History
Adapted 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, the template is not incorporating a pejorative name such as vandal or spam. Several changes:
- Deleted the "block user" function (admins only)
- "deleted contribs" added later 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
- Template:S (became too small)
- 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[dead link]
- For now, all this does is link to the tool; IP address will need to be entered manually
- Note: This tool 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[dead link]
- Note: This tool sometimes misses link additions. It 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!
- AboutUs link checks for any contributions by this IP to the AboutUs.org SEO directory of domains; if so, this can be useful in finding additional domains that may have been spammed
Future
- Add http://torstatus.kgprog.com/tor_exit_query.php[dead link]
- Add link to the tester on the open proxy project on wikipedia
- Readd block user link
