{{FPER|Template:SharedIP|answered=yes}}
A protected redirect, '''Template:SharedIP'''{{-r|Template:SharedIP|,}} needs redirect category ([[WP:RCAT|rcat]]) templates added.  Please modify it as follows:

* from this:

<pre>
#REDIRECT [[Template:Shared IP]]
</pre>

* to this:

<pre>
#REDIRECT [[Template:Shared IP]]

{{Redirect category shell|
{{R from modification}}
{{R from template shortcut}}
}}
</pre>

* {{color|darkred|'''<small>WHEN YOU COPY & PASTE, PLEASE LEAVE THE SKIPPED LINE BLANK FOR READABILITY.</small>'''}}
The {{tl|Redirect category shell}} template is used to sort redirects into one or more categories.  When {{tl|pp-protected}} and/or {{tl|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.)

== Div id=lastRevInfo warning ==

{{edit template-protected|answered=yes}}
One of my userscripts that checks for common errors is triggering on this template. I'm getting the following: {{code|1=Please update warning box to use 'class="lastRevInfo floatright"' with an id set to the name of the template.}}

I suspect it has to do with the {{tag|div|open|params=id="lastRevInfo" class="floatright" ...}}, which it wants changed to {{tag|div|open|params=id="shared-ip" class="lastRevInfo floatright" ...}} or something similar. — AfroThundr <sup>([[User:AfroThundr3007730|u]] · [[User talk:AfroThundr3007730|t]] · [[Special:Contributions/AfroThundr3007730|c]])</sup> 02:26, 4 January 2019 (UTC)

:::Is that going to break anything? [[User:Primefac|Primefac]] ([[User talk:Primefac|talk]]) 03:35, 4 January 2019 (UTC)
::::Yes, I think it will. That div was put in there by [[User:Technical 13]], and it is invisible by default. I believe one can reference that "id" in one's personal CSS or JS to make it visible. I have made it visible in the sandbox so you can see what it looks like. It displays who last edited the page on which the template is trancluded and when. It is a feature of all of the [[:Category:Shared IP header templates]]. I personally don't see its purpose or know whether anyone is using it, and, obviously, Technical 13 won't be telling us. --[[User:Bsherr|Bsherr]] ([[User talk:Bsherr|talk]]) 05:06, 4 January 2019 (UTC)
:::::{{ping|Bsherr|Izno|Primefac}} The particular script responsible for the warning is [[User:Technical_13/Scripts/ACCHelp/User_talk.js|here]] (written by Technical 13). According to a similar edit he made [[Template_talk:Anonblock#Template-protected_edit_request_on_16_October_2014|here]] (also [[Template_talk:Shared_IP_edu/Archive_1#Template-protected_edit_request_on_17_October_2014|here]]), the reasoning behind the change is in the case of there being more than one of these type of templates on a page, the IDs would no longer be unique, and the second occurrence might not behave correctly due to the conflict. The box would remain hidden by default after the change due to the inline {{code|display:none;}} on the div. 
:::::The only users I could see being affected are any who added a rule to their {{code|common.css}} to force the div to display, rather than letting one of the user-related scripts do it (like the one linked above). I'm not seeing any occurrence of this right now after doing an advanced search for 'lastRevInfo' or '#lastRevInfo' in the user or WP namespaces, so I think this change won't affect anyone in that category. — AfroThundr <sup>([[User:AfroThundr3007730|u]] · [[User talk:AfroThundr3007730|t]] · [[Special:Contributions/AfroThundr3007730|c]])</sup> 20:14, 4 January 2019 (UTC)
::::::Interesting. Any insight as to what the purpose of this feature is? I'm wondering whether it shouldn't be removed as unused. --[[User:Bsherr|Bsherr]] ([[User talk:Bsherr|talk]]) 20:58, 4 January 2019 (UTC)
:::::::Purpose of the last edited box? Most likely (at least in [[WP:ACC]] workflows) to provide easy (at-a-glance) access to the last talk page activity for a particular IP, so we know what/when the last problematic activity occurred (or at least, last activity that triggered a talk page message). It's slightly redundant in my particular case, since I use another script already to expose page data like size, last edited date, and editor, but for users using the ACC scripts, it's probably a handy feature to have. Outside of that workflow, it's probably only mildly useful, which is most likely why it's hidden by default. — AfroThundr <sup>([[User:AfroThundr3007730|u]] · [[User talk:AfroThundr3007730|t]] · [[Special:Contributions/AfroThundr3007730|c]])</sup> 21:44, 4 January 2019 (UTC)

Please change

<code><nowiki>[[Special:Userlogin|Create an account!]]</nowiki></code>

to

<code><nowiki>[[Special:CreateAccount|Create an account!]]</nowiki></code>

to avoid a misleading link. The text "Create an account" should lead to the page for creating an account.

== Preview function  ==

The preview function, that is quite handy and found in all of the welcome and warning templates {{small|(afaik)}} is oddly missing from the SharedIP templates (and all of it's the subs, such as DynamicIP, StaticIP, Edu, Gov't, etc.) Was that deliberate? Is it possible to add that function to those templates? {{Small|(am I even asking in the right place?)}} Any help with this would be appreciated. Cheers - [[User:Thewolfchild|<span style="color: black">wolf</span>]] 06:03, 2 January 2021 (UTC)
:I'm going to assume that you're referring to tools like Twinkle that let you see a preview of the message you want to place, in which case you probably want to post at [[WT:TW]]. [[User:Primefac|Primefac]] ([[User talk:Primefac|talk]]) 13:53, 2 January 2021 (UTC)

Can we include <nowiki>{{distinguish|Template:User shared IP address}}</nowiki> to the template, so that users don't confuse between the two.
