Template:UnsignedIP
—Preceding unsigned comment added by an unspecified IP address (discuss)
 | This template should always be substituted – use {{subst:UnsignedIP}}. |
Used to sign anonymous unsigned comments, as no user page should exist for anonymous IPs. This template is similar to {{unsigned}}.
Usage
{{subst:unsignedIP|user name|date}}
- user name
- name or IP of user who left comment
- date
- datestamp from edit history (remember to label it UTC)
The datestamp from the edit history appears in your local time that is set in your preferences.
- In order for the time to be UTC, adjust it using the difference you designated between the server time and local time.
Examples
- With date parameter
{{subst:unsignedIP|255.255.255.255|11:15, 24 January 2008 (UTC)}}
will yield: —Preceding unsigned comment added by 255.255.255.255 (discuss) 11:15, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
- Without date parameter
{{subst:unsignedIP|255.255.255.255}}
will yield: —Preceding unsigned comment added by 255.255.255.255 (discuss)
