Template:UnsignedIP/doc

From Wikibooks, open books for an open world

Used to sign anonymous unsigned comments, as no user page should exist for anonymous IPs. This template is similar to {{unsigned}}.

{{subst:unsignedIP|user name|date}}

user name
name or IP of user who left comment
date
datestamp from edit history (remember to label it UTC)

The datestamp from the edit history appears in your local time that is set in your preferences.

In order for the time to be UTC, adjust it using the difference you designated between the server time and local time.
