Module:IPAddress/doc
 | This is a documentation subpage for Module:IPAddress It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original module page. |
 | This Lua module is used in MediaWiki:Newarticletext and MediaWiki:Blockedtext, and on approximately 169,000 pages. Changes to it can cause immediate changes to the finiki user interface. To avoid major disruption and server load, any changes should be tested in the module's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own module sandbox. The tested changes can be added to this page in a single edit. Please discuss changes on the talk page before implementing them. |
 | Editing of this module by all users is currently disabled. Changes can only be done by administrators, because it has been transcluded onto one or more cascade-protected pages. If you want to make an edit request, please submit them on the talk page. |
Functions are not "local", so other modules can require this module and call them directly. We return an object with 3 small stub functions to call the real ones so that the functions can be called from templates also.
Only dotted decimal notation for IPv4 supported. Does not support dotted hexadecimal, dotted octal, or single-number formats (see IPv4#Address_representations).
