I adapted this from
Template:IPvandal for use with IP accounts not involving vandalism -- mostly working with
WikiProject Spam. Since so much inappropriate linking is done in good faith and therefore not necessarily spamming, I did not want use a template incorporating a perjorative name such as vandal or spam. I made several changes:
Deleted the "block user" function (I'm not an admin)
Later added "deleted contribs" for any admins that want to check this
Added a "traceroute" link
Added CompleteWhois search (searches external blacklists such as Spamhaus)
Sometimes doesn't respond
Results sometimes require interpretation -- for instance, dynamic IPs are not open proxies, zombie PCs, or some other evil -- all phone modems and many other connections use dynamic IPs
Added ippages.com -- similar to CompleteWhois, also requires interpretation
Added robtex.com -- similar to CompleteWhois, also requires interpretation
For now, all this does is link to the tool -- you'll have to enter the IP address manually
Note: this tools works intermittently and may sometimes miss contributions on entire projects. For the sake of brevity, it lists no more than 20 contributions per project.
Linkwatcher -- searches for all external links added to en.wikipedia from early June 2007 onwards
This tool also picks up link additions that are reversions of page blanking by vandalism patrollers and anti-vandalism bots, so not every link addition you turn up with this is spamming!
