Template documentation

Application

To display IP addresses such that the full address cannot be captured by the crawler of a search engine. Between the first and second octet of the address, a one pixel wide non braking space is inserted.

Usage

{{IPnr

| <1^st octet (w/o dot) >

| <2^nd up to including 4^th octet (with dots between the octets) >

[|<range (w/o slash)>

[|<link parm>

[|<position parm>

[|<2^nd up to including 4^th octet of upper range limit (special cases)>]]]]}}

Note: New lines are only shown for readability

Parameters

<link parm>

Determines what clickable links are displayed. The following values apply:

1 - shows the IP as a clickable link to contributions of the IP;

2 - shows link to user page of the IP;

4 - shows link to talk page of the IP;

8 - shows link to current block list, filtered for the IP(/range);

16 - shows link to block log for the IP[/range];

32 - shows link to page to block the IP[/range] for 1 hour (default). Only useful for special applications.

The values may be bitwise OR'ed (similar to many program languages). In other words: may be added to get any combination of links.

<position parm>

If not empty or <>0: positions the strings with links below the IP, otherwise these are following the IP on the same line. Should be used within a block element, such as a table cell, as the links will center align.

Parameters that are not used, may be left empty.

Ranges

There are two types of IP ranges

• CIDR ranges, e.g. 123.123.123.0/24
• Non-CIDR ranges

The latter are frequently found in the allocation of IP-address ranges by for instance a provider to a customers or DHCP allocated addresses for certain purposes, as can be found by querying the WHOIS dataase of a RIR.

An example would be: 123.123.123.0 - 123.123.124.255.

Such a range cannot be written as a single CIDR range, but consists of two CIDR ranges, i.e. 123.123.123.0/24 and 123.123.124.0/24. Please note that this is a very simple example, much more complicated cases do exist in reality.

Examples

• {{IPnr|123|123.123.123}} gives 123. 123.123.123
• {{IPnr|123|123.123.0|24}} gives 123. 123.123.0/24
• {{IPnr|123|123.123.0||||123.124.255}} gives 123. 123.123.0 - 123. 123.124.255
• {{IPnr|123|123.123.123||7}} gives 123. 123.123.123
• {{IPnr|123|123.123.123||13}} gives 123. 123.123.123
• {{IPnr|123|123.123.0|24|24}} gives 123. 123.123.0/24
• <table align=center><td>{{IPnr|123|123.123.0|24|32|1}}</td></table> gives

  123. 123.123.0/24 (block)
