On a [[wiki]] running on the {{tag|MediaWiki}} software, ''' | On a [[wiki]] running on the {{tag|MediaWiki}} software, '''CheckUser''' (sometimes spelled '''Checkuser''' or '''Check user''') is a {{tag|user group}} account variable defined by an [[mw:Extension:CheckUser|extension]] for {{tag|Wiki People|people}} on said wiki who have access to specific personal information on all whom have edited, registered an account, and those who have applied to register for a user. CheckUser privileges enable the ability to see what [[IP address]]es and what software [[:Category:Browser|browser]]s other [[user]]s have been editing from. CheckUser privileges tend to be reserved for the most trusted [[community]] members; typically an existing [[WikiIndex:Bureaucrats|bureaucrats]] or [[system administrator]] – since CheckUser information can be used in ways that ''could'' cause real-world consequences for others, as when it is exposed what an account's identity, employer, etc. are. | ||
