Please change
[[Special:Userlogin|Create an account!]]
to
[[Special:CreateAccount|Create an account!]]
to avoid a misleading link. The text "Create an account" should lead to the page for creating an account.

Preview function
editThe preview function, that is quite handy and found in all of the welcome and warning templates (afaik) is oddly missing from the SharedIP templates (and all of it's the subs, such as DynamicIP, StaticIP, Edu, Gov't, etc.) Was that deliberate? Is it possible to add that function to those templates? (am I even asking in the right place?) Any help with this would be appreciated. Cheers - wolf 06:03, 2 January 2021 (UTC)
- I'm going to assume that you're referring to tools like Twinkle that let you see a preview of the message you want to place, in which case you probably want to post at WT:TW. Primefac (talk) 13:53, 2 January 2021 (UTC)

Can we include {{distinguish|Template:User shared IP address}} to the template, so that users don't confuse between the two. Itcouldbepossible Talk 14:16, 3 June 2022 (UTC)
- (Non-TE comment) @Itcouldbepossible: Done. Hatnotes like these, from what I've seen in other places, always go onto the documentation page. Aidan9382 (talk) 14:25, 3 June 2022 (UTC)
- @Aidan9382 Thanks for the change. I didn't know if they got in the documentation page, or I would not have bothered other editors with an edit request. Thanks for the information. Best, Itcouldbepossible Talk 14:27, 3 June 2022 (UTC)

Description of suggested change: This template, along with the EDU, GOV, corp, public, mobile, and IBM versions, should be tagged as historical due to the rollout of temporary accounts. PCHS Pirate Alumnus (talk) 12:28, 8 November 2025 (UTC)

- Not done: According to the page's protection level you should be able to edit the page yourself. If you seem to be unable to, please reopen the request with further details. The documentation is not protected. Adding {{historical}} should be straightforward. – Jonesey95 (talk) 16:13, 8 November 2025 (UTC)
