CheckUser is a MediaWiki extension that can be used to reveal the IP addresses of an account to enforce blocks. Together with manual inspection, it assists in uncovering illegitimate behavior such as spam. This protects the wiki from disruption by any particular group or individual. It can also show all edits from an IP including those by registered users. People with CheckUser access are referred to as checkusers.
