Template:Old IP warnings bottom
This template can be used to archive old warnings on IP user talk pages. The reason for archiving can be changed from its default with the reason= parameter, which affects the text "This shared IP ... these warnings may be stale."
If an optional text is given, it appears under the standard message. For example, giving a date range or other details. (See Example 2 below)
Surround old warnings on a user IP page (especially shared IPs) by
{{Old IP warnings top}}
and
{{Old IP warnings bottom}}
The template can also be subst'ed.
Example change
