Forum:Template: Range

Wookieepedia &gt; Administrators' noticeboard &gt; 

Splarka has given us a helpful template imported from Uncyclopedia: Range. This allows us to do range blocks more easily, so we should handle it with care.

To see how it works, check Template talk:Range. Here, we see a list of IP ranges ending with /16. They are added to the list using the range template: produces:



"Block" and "Unblock" have obvious functions, while "List blocks" shows which IPs in that range are currently blocked, and "Block history" gives the history of blocks in that range.

Splarka put interbusiness.it, home of the Crumb/Johnny the Vandal/serial impersonator repeat vandal, on the list. I'll be adding AOL to the list.

If we run into repeat vandalism which we can tell is coming from a repeated IP range, and we have that range listed on Template talk:Range, this will make it easier to block that range. Of course, we don't want to block them indefinitely, since these are shared IPs...especially with AOL, since its IP addresses seem to be particularly volatile. &mdash;Silly Dan (talk) 01:27, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
