Adapted 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, the template is not incorporating a pejorative name such as vandal or spam. Several changes:
Deleted the "block user" function (admins only)
"deleted contribs" added later 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
Sometimes doesn't respond
Gave the stuff in parentheses a small font(became too small)
AboutUs link checks for any contributions by this IP to the AboutUs.org SEO directory of domains; if so, this can be useful in finding additional domains that may have been spammed
Future
Add link to the tester on the open proxy project on Wikipedia
Readd block user link
