This is the user documentation sub-page for this Template:doc template. This WMF imported template was copied (or imported) from an existing template of the same (or similar) name as this, in accordance with the terms of their respective license(s), at either the English Wikipedia (En.Wp), Wikimedia Meta-Wiki ('Meta'), Wikimedia Commons ('Commons'), or other Wikimedia Foundation (WMF) wiki site; as found at Template:UnsignedIP/doc.

Please note that this UnsignedIP person template must be substituted. Do not merely use {{UnsignedIP}} – instead, please use {{subst:UnsignedIP}}.

This template is used to append a 'signature' to anonymous unsigned comments on a talk page from an 'IP editor'; as no User page should exist for anonymous IPs. This template is similar to {{Unsigned}}.

Usage

{{subst:UnsignedIP | IP address | time, day month year (UTC)}}
IP address
IP address of user who left comment;
time, date
time and date stamp from edit history.

The time stamps in the edit history list for any talk page appear in UTC, or in the local time that is set in your preferences. If you did not adjust the time in your preferences, then the times in the edit history list are in UTC.

Talk page times should always be in UTC. So be sure to use UTC time when using this unsigned template. Adjust the time, if necessary, using the difference you designated between the server UTC time and local time. If this is too difficult to figure out, or you are in a hurry, then leave out the time, and only put in the date.

Working examples

With time and date parameter(s)

Typing: {{subst:UnsignedIP|255.255.255.255|11:15, 24 January 2008 (UTC)}} will yield:

— preceding unsigned comment added by 255.255.255.255 (talk) – 11:15, 24 January 2008 (UTC).

Without time and date parameter(s)

Typing: {{subst:UnsignedIP|255.255.255.255}} will yield:

— preceding unsigned comment added by 255.255.255.255 (talk).
