Usage

In general, this template should only be applied by Administrators or Clerks as part of the Sockpuppet investigations process.

If you believe someone is using sockpuppets or meat puppets, you should create a report at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations. In reporting suspected sockpuppetry, you must obey the rules of WP:OUTING with regard to disclosure of personal or identifying information. Only blocked accounts should be tagged as Category:Suspected Wikipedia sockpuppets and only upon sufficient evidence that would stand up to scrutiny.[1]

Usage Code Output
Suspected {{IPsock|username}}
Proven (not always blocked) {{IPsock|username|confirmed}}
If there is any evidence, you can use the following code, confirmed or not. {{IPsock|username|evidence= [[WP:SOCK|foo]]}}

{{IPsock|username|confirmed| evidence=[[WP:SOCK|foo]]}}


If the user believed/confirmed to be using the IP is blocked, you can add the "blocked=yes" parameter. {{IPsock|username|blocked=yes}}

{{IPsock|username|confirmed| blocked=yes}}


Other notes

This template automatically adds to the correct category specified by the user.

It also adds the __NOINDEX__ magic word.
