Template:Unsigned IP/doc
 | This is a documentation subpage for Template:Unsigned IP. It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
 | This template should always be substituted (i.e., use {{subst:Unsigned IP}}). |
Used to sign anonymous unsigned comments, as no User page should exist for anonymous IPs. This template is similar to {{unsigned IP}}, but with the arguments reversed for easier copying from the edit history.
Usage
All parameters
{{subst:unsignedIP2|user name|date}}
- date
- datestamp from edit history (remember to label it UTC)
- user name
- name or IP of user who left comment
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
