Template:Unsigned IP is permanently protected from editing because it is a heavily used or highly visible template. Substantial changes should be proposed here first. If the proposal is uncontroversial or has been discussed and is supported by consensus, editors may use ((edit template-protected)) to notify an administrator or template editor to make the requested edit. Usually, any contributor may edit the template's documentation to add usage notes or categories. Any contributor may edit the template's sandbox. This template does not have a testcases subpage. You can create the testcases subpage here.

This edit request to Template:UnsignedIP has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

A protected redirect, Template:UnsignedIP, needs redirect category (rcat) templates added. Please modify it as follows:

• from this:

#REDIRECT [[Template:Unsigned IP]]

• to this:

#REDIRECT [[Template:Unsigned IP]]

((Redirect category shell|
((R from move))
((R from modification))
((R from template shortcut))
))

• WHEN YOU COPY & PASTE, PLEASE LEAVE THE SKIPPED LINE BLANK FOR READABILITY.

The ((Redirect category shell)) template is used to sort redirects into one or more categories. When ((pp-protected)) and/or ((pp-move)) suffice, the Redirect category shell template will detect the protection level(s) and categorize the redirect automatically. (Also, the categories will be automatically removed or changed when and if protection is lifted, raised or lowered.) Thank you in advance!

 Not done for now: please establish a consensus for this alteration before using the ((edit template-protected)) template. I made this change, thinking that it made sense, but as I was responding here, I realized that ((unsigned)) uses the same syntax, and this template has looked the same for a while (Since 2007, apparently.). I am in favor of this change, but it should be discussed, and any change should be applied to ((unsigned)) at the same time, so that talk page should be notified of this discussion. – Jonesey95 (talk) 02:55, 10 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I would like to replace the <small> tags with <span> tags, to match that of ((subst:Unsigned)) (see Special:Diff/989618168):

<small class="autosigned"> → <span class="autosigned" style="font-size:85%;">

</small> → </span>

 Not done: This template's code is simpler. I have reverted a convoluted edit to ((Unsigned)) by a controversial editor (which was followed by a good-faith edit to clean it up instead of a revert) so that these two templates are matched again. Thanks for noticing this inconsistency. – Jonesey95 (talk) 14:29, 19 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
