message: Have you thought about changing http://www.ip2location.com/$1 to http://www.infosniper.net/index.php?ip_address=$1 as seen in MediaWiki:Checkuser-toollinks? The latter appears not to have a 20/day limit. ―cobaltcigs 13:11, 26 December 2010 (UTC)

message: The F in "Rangeblock finder" and the C in "Global contributions" are not capitalised, but the B in "Global Blocks" is set off in uppercase. I suggest a rendition as "Global blocks", because that's the pattern interface messages are usually formatted. --Theurgist (talk) 15:06, 11 January 2011 (UTC)

thread_title:  Edit request 

message: e.g. http://toolserver.org/~chm/whois.php?ip=84.62.68.124 I suggest to change the whois service since that problem is known since some days (service owner notified some days ago but not fixed until now). To: http://toolserver.org/~overlordq/cgi-bin/whois.cgi?lookup=84.62.68.124 Have done that in Commons. Cheers --Saibo (Δ) 17:42, 19 February 2012 (UTC)

thread_title:  Part of IP address appearing below contributions 

message: The current wording:
"Please note: these are the contributions from an unregistered user editing from an IPv6 address."
makes the assumption that the user doesn't have an account, which is misleading, may be incorrect, and should be changed to:
"Please note: these are the contributions from an IPv6 address from a user who is not logged in to an account." (or something similar)
Thanks. Dru of Id (talk) 17:37, 19 June 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: You're absolutely correct. Your text was fine, but I thought it was too long given the size of the banner (that it would stretch people's pages or wrap). I don't see why we need to indicate this anyway – it's fairly tacit. It's rather incredible that it took 2½ days for someone to look at this.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 07:24, 22 June 2012 (UTC)

thread_title:  Change of wording 

message: I find it a bit odd that we display the "If you are an IP user, you may create an account or log in to avoid future confusion with other IP users. Registering also hides your IP address." text for everyone, even if you're already logged in. May I suggest that the message either be removed entirely, or hidden for logged in users? Additionally, for this tweak to work, maybe it should also instead say "for an anonymous user, identified by their IP address" ViperSnake151  Talk   15:25, 2 October 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Not done: please establish a consensus for this alteration before using the  template. It only displays for the contribs of an IP user. The contribs for a logged-in user have MediaWiki:Sp-contributions-footer, not this box. --Redrose64 (talk) 18:39, 2 October 2013 (UTC)

replies: text: The labs tool is very cool but isn't giving us the info we need. With Domaintools the school name sometimes shows up as the "ASN", and on the labs tool ASN links to the ARIN WHOIS site, which also doesn't indicate that we're working with a school. Example: Domaintools vs wmflabs and ARIN. So everytime I go to block an IP, if the labs tool doesn't say it's a school or some institution, I end up going back to Domaintools to double-check. In my opinion it's worth the time putting in the captcha to get the full information, so I've boldly restored the domaintools link for now. Best — MusikAnimal talk 15:37, 23 September 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Also, I've been talking to the WMF about offering admins login credentials for domaintools so we don't get the captcha or daily usage limit. Not sure if this will really happen but they seemed interested, thought I'd mention it here. — MusikAnimal talk 15:42, 23 September 2015 (UTC)
