Template:Checkuser needed/doc

This is a documentation subpage for Template:Checkuser needed.
It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.

Usage[edit]

This template is used to request a checkuser in situ, usually at AN or ANI.

Pages with this template will be categorized into Category:Requests for checkuser. When the request has been acted upon, add |done=yes to the template.

User:Mz7 (bot) will add pages with this template into the table at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations unless the page is in the User namespace or the Template namespace. These namespaces will be ignored because many pages in those namespaces transclude pages like WP:AIV and may result in a number of duplicate entries (see here for illustration of this issue).
