User talk:Func/wpfunc/blockiphelp.js

Block IP Help is a monobook.js script to add additional functionality to the Special:Blockip page. Currently, it only indicates if an IP belongs to AOL or not.

Usage

You can simply add the following to your monobook.js page:

document.write(
	'<script type="text/javascript" src="/w/index.php?title=' +
	'User:Func/wpfunc/blockiphelp.js' +
	'&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript&dontcountme=s"><'+'/script>'
);

Alternitively, you can simply copy the contents of User:Func/wpfunc/blockiphelp.js into your monobook.js page.

Functionality

Next to the field where you enter the IP address or the username, the following text will appear:

• (none)
  • The field is empty.
• Not an IP.
  • Username, (or ill-formed IP address). The expiry time is set to 24 hours.
• Unknown IP.
  • The expiry time is set to 1 hour.
• AOL IP address.
  • The expiry time is set to 15 minutes.

The message will also change when you enter a new IP or username, (after you tab away or click away from the field).

Bugs and feature requests

I haven't had a chance to test this on a Windows machine yet, so let me know how things go.
