  • Local policy is at ar:ويكيبيديا:تدقيق مستخدم.
  • There is a separate mailing list for Arabic Wikipedia checkusers.
  • Checkusers who haven't used their checkuser access for more than a year will have their rights removed. (Point 1 of section 2.3 of the local rights removal policy.)
  • Inactive checkusers should be warned in their talk pages and by email (if they have set a valid email address in their preferences) before rights removal.
  • Inactive checkusers who had their rights removed can request to be reinstated as checkusers in the 3 months following their rights removal. After that period, they can only regain their rights by a new vote.

  • CheckUsers are elected by the community; they are admins (only technically if not elected as an admin before), but do not have any other "higher" local rights such as arbitrator, bureaucrat, or oversight (segregation of duties).
  • Local policy is at Wikipedia:Checkuser.
  • CheckUsers only act on request, which should be made publicly at Wikipedia:Checkuser/Anfragen, fact-based comments by other users are possible.
  • Private requests are allowed as an exception (when private data, e.g. real names are affected).
  • Public log exists, requests and decisions are stored on archive pages.
  • Strictly all checks (also those from stewards and Office Actions) are publicly announced (anonymised if needed, e.g. regarding user names).
  • Checkusers don't perform any bans/blocks, they leave the decision on this to the administrators.

Cases of the check

  • CheckUsers can act in one of these situations:
    • (RFCU) On request (public or private);
    • (CUP1) To block underlying IPs of an account, where the autoblock has expired or been ineffective. Sockpuppets found may also be blocked.
    • (CUP2) Collateral damage checks for the hardblocking of IPs or ranges.
    • (CUP3) IP block exemption checks before granting IPBE (or to verify it is being used constructively).
  • As suggested by official actions, requests are currently discuss(ing?/ed?) at zh:WP:RFCUHAM and after review, if actions are really indeed on Meta-Wiki, formally at SRCU.
  • CheckUsers may perform any blocks themselves; but it is not mandatory.
