I have a question how do you use the iprange calculator? — HypercaneTeen(talk) 10:58, July 28, 2014 (UTC)


 * Hey HypercaneTeen! The Scratchpad:IP range calculator is a great device created by our recently retired other Administrator, Kris. He never got to complete it, so it does not have all the functionality he had intended for it. At this time, if you enter an IP address in the Network IP field, it will generate the starting IP and the ending IP in the range, depending on the CIDR suffix number entered after the slash.""The relationship is an inverse one. That is, the larger the CIDR suffix, the smaller the range generated. Conversely, the smaller the CIDR suffix, the larger the range generated.We had hoped to also have it run the other direction: You enter the range start and end points, and the calculator would generate the Network IP and the CIDR suffix. Sadly, that part never got completed.""Finally, to better understand range blocks, please see mw:Help:Range blocks. —  Spike  Toronto  03:58, July 30, 2014 (UTC) P.S. I notice that it doesn’t seem to be working right now. I’ll have to check that the JS is loading properly. —  Spike  Toronto  03:58, July 30, 2014 (UTC)
