Line 12: CheckUser must be used in accordance with Weird Gloop's [https://weirdgloop.org/privacy/ privacy policy], which generally prohibits disclosure of non-public, personally-identifiable information, without user consent. Unless someone is seriously disrupting the wiki, and revealing information about them is necessary to stop the disruption, it is a violation of the privacy policy to reveal their IP address, whereabouts, or other information sufficient to identify them, unless they have already revealed this information themselves on the project. Even if the user is acting abusively, it's best not to reveal personal information if possible. Do not reveal exact IP addresses to a wide audience. When in doubt, provide the least amount of possible information, or [[Special:Contact\|contact ~~the~~ Weird Gloop ~~system administrators~~]] for guidance. ==Access to CheckUser== Only Weird Gloop ~~system administrators~~staff and a small number of local administrators are allowed access to CheckUser. Local CheckUsers ~~can be~~are appointed ~~through~~at ~~consensus~~Weird ~~by the local~~Gloop's ~~community~~discretion. All CheckUsers must be at least 18 years of age, and sign a confidentiality agreement pursuant to the [[~~meta:~~Access to non-public personal data policy\|access to non-public personal data policy]]. Any user account with CheckUser status that is inactive for more than six months will have their CheckUser access removed. In case of abuse of the tool, users with the CheckUser privilege will immediately have their access removed. In particular, this will happen if checks are repeatedly performed on editors without a legitimate reason to do so. Line 27: * List the current local CheckUsers. The following wikis have their own CheckUser policies: * [[rsw:RuneScape:Check user\|RuneScape Wiki]] * [[~~osrsw~~osw:RuneScape:CheckUser\|Old School RuneScape Wiki]] * [[enmcw:Minecraft Wiki:Check user\|Minecraft Wiki]] ==Current CheckUsers== Weird Gloop staff (those with the "staff" usergroup) have access to CheckUser on all wikis. ~~;Everywhere~~ ~~The following users have global access to CheckUser by virtue of their system administration work for Weird Gloop:~~ * [[User:JaydenKieran\|JaydenKieran]] * [[User:TehKittyCat\|TehKittyCat]] * [[User:Cook Me Plox\|Cook Me Plox]] For a list of locally appointed CheckUsers, go to <code>Special:ListUsers?group=checkuser</code> on a Weird Gloop wiki. ~~;RuneScape Wiki~~ ~~;Old School RuneScape Wiki~~ ~~;RuneScape Classic Wiki~~ ~~;PT-BR RuneScape Wiki~~ [[Category:Global policies]]
