WikiIndex:Check user: Difference between revisions

{{TOCright}}

On a [[wiki]] running on the {{tag|MediaWiki}} software, '''check user''' is a {{tag|user group}} account variable 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.  Check user privileges enable the ability to see what [[IP address]]es and what software [[:Category:Browser|browser]]s other [[user]]s have been editing from.  Check user privileges tend to be reserved for the most trusted [[community]] members; typically an existing [[WikiIndex:Bureaucrats|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.
