The template adds the [[Wikipedia:Controlling search engine indexing|<code><nowiki>__NOINDEX__</nowiki></code> magic word]].
 
=== Parameters ===
The first parameter in this table is '''required''' and the template will fail without it. All the other parameters are optional.
 
Line 67 ⟶ 56:
|
* ''First positional parameter'' (optionally {{para|1}})
| ''Username of the sockmaster or suspected sockmaster''
| Just include the name, no "User:" or square brackets.
|-
Line 74 ⟶ 63:
|
* <code>spi</code>
* <code>suspected</code>
* <code>blocked</code>
* <code>proven</code>
Line 80 ⟶ 70:
* <code>nbconfirmed</code>
|
* <code>spi</code>, <code>suspected</code> and default (nothing specified) - these are equivalent, and can be used if the user is still under investigation or has not yet been blocked or confirmed by checkuser.
* <code>blocked</code> - this is used for sockpuppets that have been blocked on behavioural evidence (the [[WP:DUCK|duck test]]) or behavioural evidence combined with a non-conclusive CU result (such as {{possible}}).
* <code>blocked</code> - this is used for sockpuppets that have been blocked on behavioural evidence (the [[w:WP:DUCK|duck test]]) or behavioural evidence combined with a non-conclusive CU result (such as {{possible}}).
* <code>proven</code> - Behaviour is beyond reasonable doubt but there is no CU {{Confirmed}} result (CU may have given a different result).
* <code>confirmed</code>, <code>cuconfirmed</code> and <code>nbconfirmed</code> - A CU has {{Confirmed}} that the accounts are related.
Line 105 ⟶ 96:
|
* <code>yes</code>
| This parameter can be used to remove the note about the account being blocked, such as when a version other than the default applies. Such as if an account is globallyconfirmed locked asby a sockpuppet,CheckUser but has not beenis blockedleft locallyunblocked. ''This parameter works with all parameters.''
|-
|
Line 116 ⟶ 107:
* {{para|category}}
| ''Custom category name for the sockpuppet or suspected sockpuppet''
| This parameter defaults to the category "Wikipedia sockpuppetsSockpuppets of X" if the second positional parameter is set to "confirmed", and "Suspected Wikipedia sockpuppets of X" if the second positional parameter is set to anything else. Here, "X" is the username specified in the first positional parameter.
|-
|
* {{para|nocat}}
| ''Suppresses categorization of the page''
| When set to <code>nocat=1</code>, the page will not be categorized. Should only be used in test or example uses of the template.
|}
 
=== Deprecated parametersCategories ===
Use of this template with the second positional parameter {{code|suspected}} or {{code|spi}} or without any second positional parameter will produce
{{Sockpuppet|Example|nocat=yes}}
The template should '''not be used in this manner''', as [[Wikipedia:Sockpuppetry#Handling suspected sock puppets]] mandates that only blocked accounts be tagged as sockpuppets.
 
===Categories===
This template adds pages to one of (as appropriate):
* [[:Category:Suspected Wikipedia sockpuppets]] and ''Category:Suspected Wikipedia sockpuppets of <nowiki>{{{1}}}</nowiki>'';
* ''Category:Wikipedia sockpuppetsSockpuppets of <nowiki>{{{1}}}</nowiki>''.
