Template:TOCright On a wiki running on the MediaWiki software, check user is a user group account variable for 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. Check user privileges enable the ability to see what IP addresses and what software browsers other users have been editing from. Check user privileges tend to be reserved for the most trusted community members; typically an existing bureaucrats or system administrator – since check user 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.
