      Requests likely to be accepted

      Code Situation Solution, requirements
      A Blatant attack or vandalism accounts, need IP block Submit new section at #Requests for IP check, below
      B Evading blocks, bans and remedies issued by arbitration committee Submit case subpage, including link to closed arb case
      C Ongoing, serious pattern vandalism with many incidents Submit case subpage, including diffs

      F Evading blocks, bans and remedies issued by community Submit case subpage, including link to evidence of remedy
      G Does not fit above, but you believe check needed Submit case subpage, briefly summarize and justify

      Requests likely to be rejected

      Situation Solution
      Obvious, disruptive sock puppet Block, no checkuser needed
      Disruptive "throwaway" account used only for a few edits Block, no checkuser needed
      Checkuser on yourself to "prove your innocence" Such requests are rarely accepted, please do not ask
      Related to ongoing arbitration case Request checkuser on the arbitration case pages
      Vote fraud, ongoing vote Wait until vote closes before listing, or post at Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets
      Vote fraud, closed vote, did not affect outcome List at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents or Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets
      Other disruption of articles List at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents or Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets
      Open proxy, IP address already known List at Wikipedia:WikiProject on open proxies
      You want access to the checkuser tool yourself Contact the Arbitration Committee, but such access is granted rarely


      When submitting a request

      • If submitting a new case subpage, use the inputbox below; if adding to an existing case subpage, see WP:RFCU/P#Repeat requests.
      • Choose the code letter that best fits your request. Provide evidence such as diff links as required or requested. Note that some code letters inherently require specific evidence.
      • When listing suspected accounts or IP addresses, use the {{checkuser}} or {{checkip}} templates. Please do not use this template in a section header.
      • You may add your request to the top of the #Outstanding requests section, by adding {{Wikipedia:Requests for checkuser/Case/CASENAMEHERE}}. If you do not, clerks should check for pages in Category:Checkuser requests to be listed and will do this for you.
      • Sign your request.

      File a Checkuser Request
      Cases are created on subpages of Wikipedia:Requests for checkuser/Case.
      If you require help or advice, ask at Wikipedia 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.

      Example: if you want to request a checkuser on User:John Doe, enter the text:
      Wikipedia:Requests for checkuser/Case/John Doe

      <inputbox> type=create editintro=Wikipedia:Requests for checkuser/Inputbox/Header preload=Wikipedia:Requests for checkuser/Inputbox/Sample default=Wikipedia:Requests for checkuser/Case/ buttonlabel=Request a checkuser bgcolor=#F8FCFF width=50 </inputbox>

      Indicators and templates   (v  · e)
      These indicators are used by Checkusers, SPI clerks and other patrolling users, to allow easier at-a-glance reading of their notes, actions and comments.

      IP/A

      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 Wikipedia: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 Wikipedia: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.
