===Parameters===
The first parameter in this table is '''required''' and the template will fail without it. All the other parameters are optional.

|-
|
* ''First positional parameter'' (optionally {{para|1}})
| ''Username of the sockmaster or suspected sockmaster''
| Just include the name, no "User:" or square brackets.
|-
|
Line 58:
* <code>nbconfirmed</code> - this is also for when the sockpuppet has been confirmed by checkuser, but mentions the Checkuser specifically ("A Checkuser has shown that this account is a sockpuppet of X" versus "This account is a sockpuppet of X").
* If no second parameter is specified, the template outputs a generic message: "An editor has expressed a concern that this account may be a sockpuppet of X".

Line 65 ⟶ 64:
| ''Evidence of sockpuppetry''
| This field can be used to link to the evidence of sockpuppetry, or to give a very brief summary (a couple of words). If this parameter is left blank and the sockpuppet investigation case page is a blue link, then a link to the case page is provided automatically.
|-
|
Line 72 ⟶ 70:
* <code>yes</code>
| Use {{para|locked|yes}} if the account is [[:m:Locked global account|globally locked]].
|-
|
Line 78 ⟶ 75:
| ''Length of time the sockpuppet or suspected sockpuppet was blocked''
| Use this field if the sockpuppet or suspected sockpuppet was blocked for a specific length of time. This parameter defaults to "indefinitely".
|-
|
Line 85 ⟶ 81:
| ''Custom category name for the sockpuppet or suspected sockpuppet''
| This parameter defaults to the category "Wikipedia sockpuppets 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.
