Line 1:
'''CheckUser''' is an interface that allows Check Users to look up and find the IP addresses of editors (to investigate claims of sockpuppetry), find all Usernames used by a certain IP address, and find all edits made by a certain IP address on all accounts or while logged out.

Line 26 ⟶ 28:
* [[Stewards]] may perform the same actions as CheckUsers and can be contacted at [[Stewards' noticeboard]]
* A list of people with the specific ''checkuser'' permission may be found at [[Special:ListUsers/checkuser]] (This list is unreliable as the login wiki is usually used for checkuser activities)
== Permission ==
Permission is granted by adding users to the <code>checkuser</code> group. Requests for permissions should be left at the [[Stewards' noticeboard]].
=== Identification ===
Users must identify themselves to Orain staff and be logged at the [[Identification log]] before they can be given Oversight permissions.
