Template:Shared IP address (public)
 This IP address, IP address, is registered to {{{1}}} and may be shared by multiple users using public terminals or a Wi-Fi hotspot. If proxy servers or firewalls are used, this IP address may represent many users at many personal computers or devices. For this reason, a message intended for one user may be received by another, and a block intended for disruptive users may also affect innocent users. If you are editing from this address and are frustrated by irrelevant messages, you can avoid them by creating an account for yourself. Sometimes, in response to vandalism, you may be temporarily unable to create an account.
Review contributions carefully if blocking this IP address or reverting its contributions. If a block is needed, administrators should consider a soft block using Template:Anonblock. Public terminals and Wi-Fi hotspots may have set expiry times (usually in 30- or 60-minute intervals); consider this in deciding a block duration.  Network administrators, to monitor this IP address for vandalism, can subscribe to a web feed of this page in either RSS or Atom format. |
