'''CheckUser''' is a [[<tvar name=1>Special:CheckUser</tvar>|restricted special page]] that is fully available only to stewards and system administrators. CheckUser allows authorized users to check and view what IP addresses have been used by user accounts – data which is normally hidden. They can also view some other technical information about browsers and user clients. | |||
<!--T:2--> | |||
A log of CheckUser actions is [[<tvar name=1>Special:CheckUserLog</tvar>|kept privately]]. Due to the sensitivity of the tool, Checkuser rights will not be granted to any non-stewards or sysadmins except under exceptional circumstances. Administrators, however, can test the tool on their own account and IP address only. | |||
