How administrators handle certain IP blocks depends on the type of address. For example, they handle an edit from an IP address coming from a residential area differently to an edit from an IP registered to a government. If an IP address is registered to a school or a university, administrators apply dedicated templates. If the institution was blocked before, they instruct how to contact them. Then, they help the institution get around the block. These templates can also be used pre-emptively. The goal may be to clear up potential confusion at receiving messages not meant for the user. Another goal may be to point to features only available to registered users.
