This template is helpful, but I'm a little lost as to how to proceed.
It says "In the event of vandalism from this address, efforts will be made to contact the institution to report network abuse." and I know of a case of vanalism on Edgar F. Codd. What am I supposed to do? put a {subst:test} on the page? McKay 17:12, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
I think the template should be changed to include an admin contact for the school and the school website. I've done that on user talk:70.88.111.65, my school IP. This will make it easier to contact the school in cases of abuse. ~ Crazytales !!! 12:58, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
I think these links to school websites should be done. I'm not sure the best way, though. User:Selket says he/she needs us a list compiled of school websites (and contacts), in order for the bot to add the links. Alternatively, we could manually add them when we give subsequent warnings. -- Aude ( talk) 20:26, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

As part of the
total revamp of the old Abuse Report system we have moved and renamed the project to
Wikipedia:Abuse response. As part of the last stage of the rename the main page was recently moved. While there is a redirect from the old
Wikipedia:Abuse report main page we are trying to change all the links we can. Since this high visibility template links to the abuse response system we were wondering if you could make the following change:
Replace: [[Wikipedia:Abuse reports|Abuse reports]]
With: [[Wikipedia:Abuse response|Abuse reports]]

In some cases it is clear which specific educational institution has long-term use of an IP address (eg by editing a specific school page), but the WHOIS doesn't make it clear that it's a school. What about an extra field |usedby

Please indicate any feedback on changes that may be viewed at
Template:Shared IP edu/sandbox and in comparison at
Template:Shared IP edu/testcases. The changes are to make wording consistent, increase visability of the symbol, add a descriptive title, minimize instructions to administrators consistent with other templates, and change certain images consistent with their meanings on user warning templates.
Please note that the documentation template is commented out on the sandbox page to avoid unintentional category listing.
I'd like to proceed with replacing the code in three days unless feedback warrants delay. --

This template currently has a whois tool link for the hostnames, not all schools or even organzations do there DNS in such a way.
I suggest for IP users
But, for the current template I would like it changed to show the ip, and a ip whois tool using the current whois tool we have on the tool server, or the one I mentioned above, otherwise including anything in the template is pointless in my opinion.

We could add a parameter to add

I would like to suggest the addition to this template of some wording that is already on {{ Whois}}: If you are an unregistered user operating from this address, note that it is possible for the owner of the IP to determine who was making contributions from this address at a given time. I have found that when I add {{whois}} to an IP talk page, they are MUCH less likely to repeat vandalism than if I don't add this. I'm convinced that this statement informing users that someone can identify who is editing has a positive effect on preventing repeat vandalism. If the same effect could be realized in relation to schoolchildren's edits, I think it could be a considerable benefit to Wikipedia. Deli nk ( talk) 21:04, 13 September 2011 (UTC)

The template currently states "it is possible for your institution's administration to determine who was making contributions from this [IP] address" which is blatantly false.

Wikipedia:Abuse report main page we are trying to change all the links we can. Since this high visibility template links to the abuse response system we were wondering if you could make the following change:
Replace: [[Wikipedia:Abuse reports|Abuse reports]]
With: [[Wikipedia:Abuse response|Abuse reports]]

In some cases it is clear which specific educational institution has long-term use of an IP address (eg by editing a specific school page), but the WHOIS doesn't make it clear that it's a school. What about an extra field |usedby
("appears to be used by") to accommodate this situation?

Please indicate any feedback on changes that may be viewed at
Template:Shared IP edu/sandbox and in comparison at
Template:Shared IP edu/testcases. The changes are to make wording consistent, increase visability of the symbol, add a descriptive title, minimize instructions to administrators consistent with other templates, and change certain images consistent with their meanings on user warning templates.
Please note that the documentation template is commented out on the sandbox page to avoid unintentional category listing.
I'd like to proceed with replacing the code in three days unless feedback warrants delay. --

This template currently has a whois tool link for the hostnames, not all schools or even organzations do there DNS in such a way.
I suggest for IP users
But, for the current template I would like it changed to show the ip, and a ip whois tool using the current whois tool we have on the tool server, or the one I mentioned above, otherwise including anything in the template is pointless in my opinion.
Thanks --

If a block is needed, [[Wikipedia:Administrators|administrators]]should consider a [[Wikipedia:Blocking policy#Setting block options|soft block]] with the template <tt>{{[[Template:schoolblock|schoolblock]]|''optional comment''}}</tt> as the block reason.
Needs to be changed to:

Is the template supposed to look like this? I believe the bold and non-bold formats are reversed. (Or am I using it incorrectly? This is how I've always used it.) -- Gyrofrog (talk) 16:26, 29 September 2010 (UTC)

Please replace with
Template:Shared IP edu/Sandbox. These changes follow changes made to SharedIP and SharedIPGOV, and ensure uniform appearance and message among the shared IP templates. To summarize, these global changes adopt tmbox, and make the message clearer and more concise. Thanks. --

Change:

to:
('''<tt>[{{fullurl:tools:~overlordq/cgi-bin/whois.cgi|lookup={{urlencode:{{{{{subst|}}}PAGENAME}}}}}} {{{{{subst|}}}PAGENAME}}]</tt>''')

We could add a parameter to add
In response to vandalism from this IP address, anonymous editing may be blocked, and abuse reports may be sent to your educational institution's administration for investigation. |
instead of it being there always. We could make it (blocked=yes). We will also change it to:
In response to vandalism from this IP address, anonymous editing is blocked, and abuse reports may be sent to your educational institution's administration for investigation. |
It would be simpler than adding another template, and why put "may be blocked"? Also, another change is hyperlink for "blocked".~~ EBE123~~ talk Contribs 19:32, 28 April 2011 (UTC)

I would like to suggest the addition to this template of some wording that is already on {{ Whois}}: If you are an unregistered user operating from this address, note that it is possible for the owner of the IP to determine who was making contributions from this address at a given time. I have found that when I add {{whois}} to an IP talk page, they are MUCH less likely to repeat vandalism than if I don't add this. I'm convinced that this statement informing users that someone can identify who is editing has a positive effect on preventing repeat vandalism. If the same effect could be realized in relation to schoolchildren's edits, I think it could be a considerable benefit to Wikipedia. Deli nk ( talk) 21:04, 13 September 2011 (UTC)

The template currently states "it is possible for your institution's administration to determine who was making contributions from this [IP] address" which is blatantly false. I think we've learned this much from the RIAA vs. Does lawsuits. I suggest we change the wording to "may be possible" to accurately reflect reality. Palosirkka ( talk) 10:48, 2 July 2012 (UTC)

{{ ISP}} and {{ Shared IP}} have long since been updated so that they are "friendlier," and I just updated {{ Shared IP gov}} and {{ Mobile IP}} as well. Below is what I propose for this school template (the only reason I didn't get rid of the white box is because the white box may contain the abuse contact for the school) PCHS-NJROTC (Messages) 23:35, 19 August 2013 (UTC)

The link(s) to the whois of the IP go to toolserver, which is (obviously) dead.
The sandbox has a fixed version, which mainly involves changing the paragraph starting with Your <span class="sharedIP">

It's my view that the one room schoolhouse image is juvenile, and as such encourages school vandals to continue with their juvenile behavior. Let's discuss replacing the schoolhouse with a more "grown up" image, such as an icon of a graduate wearing a square academic cap.– Gilliam ( talk) 17:07, 4 February 2015 (UTC)
