Talk:CheckUser

Is it possible to have checkuser rights on a single wiki? KA07 (talk) 10:30, 19 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Yes, it is technically possible, but at this time such permissions are declined for privacy reasons. Amanda (talk) 11:04, 19 April 2017 (UTC)
 * If you need a CheckUser done on your wiki for a valid reason, you may request that at SN. Reception123 (talk) (  contribs  ) 11:23, 19 April 2017 (UTC)

Privacy & Policy
Can kid's get Check User? 83.28.85.31
 * Please read this regarding users under the age of 13. --Reception123 (talk) ( 'C' ) 18:37, 11 September 2017 (UTC)
 * i am over 13, but under 18. on WMF, checkuser is restricted adult. is minors can to get checkuser on MIraheze ?
 * We do not currently have any age restriction in place for gaining access to CheckUser tools, but this is currently only accessible by Stewards. If you mean "getting checkusered", per CheckUser, this can be performed on any user who is suspected to be abusing multiple accounts at stewards' discretion. --Reception123 (talk) (< 'C' ) 18:44, 11 September 2017 (UTC)

CheckUser Tools
Hi! In the "CheckUser Tools" section of the page, there is an example log and a table showing what a CheckUser looks like in action. However, I encourage you to replace this table with a more realistic one, for example:


 * CheckUser got IP addresses for Example (talk | contribs | block) (a very good reason for looking at their IPs)
 * CheckUser got users for 127.0.0.1 (another good reason)

Unfortunately, the page is fully protected and I cannot edit it. Thanks! --YellowFrogger ( talk ) ( ✔ ) 21:23, 22 January 2022 (UTC)


 * YellowFrogger, this is already there, no? If you mean just add the pale yellow background and bright yellow border colour CSS styling, perhaps, but why? Also, on many wikis, it's a red background and a bright red border. So, on that basis, I'd probably favour the status quo. Agent Isai, what do you think? Dmehus (talk) 01:56, 24 January 2022 (UTC)
 * I've never seen a CheckUser table so I thought it was this yellow one. I will create another example. --YellowFrogger ( talk ) ( ✔ ) 02:01, 24 January 2022 (UTC)
 * What exactly do you propose be changed? For references, this is how the CheckUser log looks like. Agent Isai  Talk to me! 18:29, 25 January 2022 (UTC)


 * CheckUser got IP addresses for Example (talk | contribs | block) (a very good reason for looking at their IPs)
 * CheckUser got users for 127.0.0.1 (another good reason)

I believe you are talking about this one, which is actually the error table. --YellowFrogger ( talk ) ( ✔ ) 02:02, 24 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Well, has this been analyzed? --YellowFrogger ( talk ) ( ✔ ) 18:09, 25 January 2022 (UTC)
 * I am going to mark this as ❌ as I am unsure what this change seeks to achieve. The current example of the page, compared to the two listed above, is the most accurate for the CheckUser log as it is a white background, displaying a normal log page. John (talk) 18:32, 25 January 2022 (UTC)
 * The change sought to achieve more reality as per the wikis. Since I'm not a CU, and I've never been a CU on a wiki, I thought it displayed a table. The current table in the article included a table with dashed borders. Instead, this image proved that they are actually just lists. Also, do you often look at RC? Or was it a DM conversation? --YellowFrogger ( talk ) ( ✔ ) 18:38, 25 January 2022 (UTC)
 * The box is purely to make the distinction that it is intended to be an example, no other purpose is served. I look at RC very regularly, probably more often than I check my DMs and messages on IRC at times. John (talk) 18:41, 25 January 2022 (UTC)
 * I'm not really sure what YellowFrogger is trying to get out of this, but if I may, this is rather complicated, as Wikipedia is a separate entity while sharing the same MediaWiki engine. Also, I think what YellowFrogger is trying to say here is for the color of the box to be changed to dark red. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 18:54, 25 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Hello. I had already canceled the order anyway, when I discovered the CheckUser interface. --YellowFrogger ( talk ) ( ✔ ) 23:41, 5 February 2022 (UTC)

Alright then. Guess we can leave it at that. --DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 03:32, 6 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Yes, but this one is more unrealistic due to the dashed edge (see the image left by the agent) Anyway., let's leave it because it's just a simulation --YellowFrogger ( talk ) ( ✔ ) 03:35, 6 February 2022 (UTC)

Shortcut
Shortcut is without link (CU). I'm talking here again, because I forgot that the page is protected (and as a consequence, the syntax is outdated, but protected page causing lack of accessibility). --YellowFrogger ( talk ) ( ✔ ) 00:27, 9 February 2022 (UTC)

One little suggestion
Could Miraheze have a checkuser logo similar to Wikipedia's CheckUser logo? The only difference I could think from the back of my head is if Miraheze uses their own logo, then apply the magnifying glass on the logo. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 14:45, 23 May 2022 (UTC)


 * Shouldn't we get an archive for this page? DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 16:00, 8 July 2022 (UTC)

In regards to this logo I uploaded 5 days ago
Should the CheckUser page be updated with the logo being on the right side of the page? I made the logo myself using Paint 3D. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 14:29, 13 July 2022 (UTC)

Why is this page protected?
Like Stewards, why are these pages protected at admin level? This makes it less accessible and especially for users who work on page maintenance. — Pixial  [Talk] 01:30, 12 August 2022 (UTC)


 * It's a global policy and there isn't much reason to edit it. Agent Isai  Talk to me! 03:43, 12 August 2022 (UTC)
