Template talk:Checkuser

Template size expansion limit exceeded
Okay, so let's discuss this! Apparently removing 1,655 bytes of code from this template directly and calling it from a sub-template which is 1,937 bytes ( byte difference) is causing issues on large archives. What is this sub template suppose to improve? Why does it need to be a sub-template increasing expansion depth? Technical 13 (talk) 16:23, 21 November 2013 (UTC)


 * A description of what the template is used for would not go amiss either. Is this for listing a user in a sockpuppet report, or specifically requesting somebody compares IP addresses and user agents? Ritchie333  (talk)  (cont)   14:08, 24 December 2013 (UTC)

This template interprets a pair of apostrophes escaped as  (&#39;&#39;) as italic markup. This really happens; see Sockpuppet investigations/T*w^E.r''*A;t*?/Archive, which includes the line

and this line is causing a listing at Lint errors: Unclosed quote in heading (namespace=Wikipedia) Anomalocaris (talk) 10:42, 8 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Red question icon with gradient background.svg Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. Also, the issue is with SPIpriorcases, not Checkuser – the apostrophes are not escaped there due to the use of . —&thinsp;JJMC89&thinsp; (T·C) 15:27, 8 February 2018 (UTC)

Please update this template as shown below, to add some other useful features to it:

The new output will be like this:

User: (talk[&section=new + ] · Contribs: local / deleted / global · Logs: [@enwiki DEWKIN] · block user · CU: [ check] / log)

Thanks! huji— TALK 22:58, 25 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Red information icon with gradient background.svg Not done: please establish a consensus for this alteration before using the template. Certainly looks like it could be useful, but there would need to be a consensus for this change. You'd probably want to ask those who work at SPI what they think of the change.

the template should have a "block user" link in the toolbar so a sysop/checkuser can block them quickly using the link in the toolbar instead of going to the sockpuppet/sockpuppeter's userpage and then clicking "block user" in the toolbox on the userpage, a block user is usually needed. 46.227.72.88 (talk) 12:54, 20 May 2018 (UTC)
 * There is already block user link, but it is only shown to sysops. Galobtter (pingó mió) 13:03, 20 May 2018 (UTC)

Please replace with the current sandbox version (dif). This would: Thanks, --DannyS712 (talk) 17:33, 25 March 2019 (UTC)
 * 1) Hide the links to perform checkuser and view the checkuser log from non-check users
 * 2) Remove the check to only add   on non-user-talk pages, since there is no inherent problem with adding noindex, and it adds an unneeded invocation of parser functions
 * 3) Show the documentation when looking at the sandbox - don't see a reason to hide it, its useful and helps with understanding the template.

Please replace the following code (which is at the very beginning):

with this code:

This is simply to avoid using a redirect on this template and on the other pages transcluding it.

(See WP:NOTBROKEN, which includes the following: "In other namespaces, particularly the template and portal namespaces in which subpages are common, any link or transclusion to a former page title that has become a redirect following a page move should be updated to the new title for naming consistency.")

Quotes in usernames not handled properly?
See Sockpuppet investigations/Терентьев Константин Викторович, "Шериф". If you click on the "CheckUser" link for the master, the "IP address or username" field is filled with "Терентьев Константин Викторович, &", but the "Reason" field correctly gets "Терентьев Константин Викторович, &#34;Шериф&#34; from Sockpuppet investigations/Терентьев Константин Викторович, &". Smells like some urlencode operation not being done properly. -- RoySmith (talk) 17:11, 23 December 2021 (UTC)
