- What does IPTaggerBot do?
- IPTaggerBot applies standardized shared IP templates to blocks of existing IP user talk pages for easier identification by administrators and other users.
- What is a shared IP address?
- A shared IP address is an internet address that multiple users share. They can be static, in the case of educational institutions, where multiple computers at a school's network share the same internet address, or dynamic, in the case of internet service providers, where individual users share a pool of dynamic addresses.
- Why do shared IP address talk pages need to be tagged?
- Most vandalism on Wikipedia comes from anonymous editors (IP addresses) and it is helpful for administrators and other users to know when the IP address is shared by multiple users.
- Can I help?
- Yes, you can. Since this bot requires manual setup of the IP address blocks to be tagged, they must be identified first. If you know of a shared IP address block that should be tagged, please report it with a link to the IP WHOIS lookup at User talk:IPTaggerBot/Reports.
