Template:IPsock
Template:Template for discussion/dated
Usage
In general, this template should only be applied by Administrators or Stewards' noticeboard as part of the investigation process.
If you believe someone is using sockpuppets or meatpuppets, you should create a report at the Stewards' noticeboard. 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 and only upon sufficient evidence that would stand up to scrutiny.[1]
