{{shortcut|BS:CHECK|BS:CHECKUSER}} '''CheckUser''' is a tool which is used by users in the checkuser group to effectively fight vandalism. ==Applications== Checkuser has three major applications: * Finding the range of IPs which are vandalising, so the said range can be blocked. * Finding what IP a vandalising account uses, for the purpose of effectively blocking it. * Finding which users use a common IP, for looking into abuse of multiple accounts. Under no circumstances is the CheckUser tool to be used in any other fashion, and especially not by a curious checkuser who wants to know a user's IP. ==CheckUser log== The CheckUser Log is available to other CheckUsers [[Special:CheckUserLog|here]]. However, as only CheckUsers can see the log, CheckUsers are encouraged to log their actions [[/Log|here]] for all users to see, but removing the data that can be used to link users and their IPs (as a CheckUser use typically involves getting an account's IP(s), then checking the accounts associated with the IP(s), thus a raw log is easy to deduce what IP corresponds to what user). An example log entry is below: {{Checkuser log|type=ip|date=22:53, 11 April 2024|checker=Example|user=Insert vandal|reason=reason|follow=y}} Which uses the code: <pre>{{Checkuser log|type=ip|date=22:53, 11 April 2024|checker=Example|user=Insert vandal|reason=reason|follow=y}}</pre> ==Requesting a CheckUser== If you need a checkuser and the situation conforms to the above rules, you can either contact [[Special:ListUsers/checkuser|one of the checkusers]] directly (via their talk page, [[Brighter Shores:Discord|Discord]], or any other method), or post a request on [[Brighter Shores:Administrator requests|Administrator requests]].
