File a Checkuser Request | ||
If you require help or advice, ask at Wiki talk:Requests for checkuser. If a case subpage already exists, edit the existing page instead, either adding to the currently open section (if the case is not yet archived) or adding a new section to the top (if the case has been archived). When editing an existing case, be sure to list it here or add Category:Checkuser requests to be listed to the subpage. If creating a new case subpage, add the name of the main account (or "puppetmaster", not the sockpuppet!) in the box below. Leave out the "User:" prefix. Do not remove the text in the box, add the name to the end only (that is, append the name to the existing text). Then press "Request a checkuser" and you will be taken to a page where you can fill out the request.

Requests for IP check
- Vandal and attack accounts may be listed here for the purpose of identifying and blocking the underlying IP address or open proxy. Requests to confirm sockpuppets of known users should be listed in the sockpuppet section above.
- If you already know the IP address of the suspected open proxy, list it at Wiki: Open Proxies instead.
- Use === Subsections ===; do not create subpages.
- List user names using the {{checkuser|username}} template. Add new reports to the top of the section.
- Requests may be acted on or declined according to the discretion of the checkuser admins. Responses will be noted here. Specific evidence of abuse in the form of diffs may be required so as to avoid the impression of fishing for evidence.
- Answered requests will be moved to Wiki: Requests for checkuser/IP check/Archive for 7 days, after which they will be deleted. No separate archive (other than the page history) will be maintained.
Non-compliant requests
| NC |
Requests that do not follow the instructions at the top of the page will be moved here. Common reasons for noncompliance include:
- Did not cite a code letter, or cite more than one code letter.
- Did not cite any supporting diffs if the code letter requires diffs.
- Included IP addresses.
The specific deficiencies may be noted with 
Additional information needed. Cases which are corrected may be moved back to the pending section. Cases which are not corrected will be deleted after 3 days.
Please note that meeting these three criteria does not ensure that your check will be run. The checkusers retain final discretion over all cases.
