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 (282 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 '' ('') as italic markup. This really happens; see Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/T*w^E.r''*A;t*?/Archive, which includes the line

: {{checkuser|1=T*w^E.r&#39;&#39;*A;t*?}}<br>{{SPIold}}

and this line is causing a listing at Lint errors: Unclosed quote in heading (namespace=Wikipedia) Anomalocaris (talk) 10:42, 8 February 2018 (UTC)

 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 {{PAGENAME}}. — JJMC89 (T·C) 15:27, 8 February 2018 (UTC)

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

<span class="plainlinks">[[User:{{{User|{{{1|Example}}}}}}|{{{User|{{{1|Example}}}}}}]] ([[User talk:{{{User|{{{1|Example}}}}}}|talk]]<sup><big>[{{fullurl:User talk:{{{1|Example}}}|action=edit}}&section=new <font color="grey">+</font>]</big></sup> {{middot}} Contribs: <small>[[Special:Contributions/{{{User|{{{1|Example}}}}}}|local]] / [[Special:DeletedContributions/{{{User|{{{1|Example}}}}}}|deleted]] / <span class="plainlinks">[https://tools.wmflabs.org/quentinv57-tools/tools/globalcontribs.php?onlylastdays=1&nbdays=90&username={{urlencode:{{{User|{{{1|Example}}}}}}}} global]</span></small> {{middot}} Logs: <small>[{{fullurl:Special:Log/block|page={{urlencode:User:{{{1}}}}} block] / [{{fullurl:Special:AbuseLog|wpSearchUser={{urlencode:{{{User|{{{1|Example}}}}}}}}}} abuse] /  [{{fullurl:Special:Log|user={{urlencode:{{{User|{{{1|Example}}}}}}}}}} other]</small> {{middot}} [https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:CentralAuth/{{urlencode:{{{User|{{{1|Example}}}}}}}} CA] {{middot}} [https://tools.wmflabs.org/dewkin/{{urlencode:{{#invoke:String|replace|{{{1|Example}}}| |_}}}}}}@enwiki DEWKIN] {{middot}} [[Special:Block/{{{User|{{{1|Example}}}}}}|block user]] {{middot}} CU: [{{fullurl:Special:CheckUser|user={{urlencode:{{{User|{{{1|Example}}}}}}}}}} check] / [[Special:CheckUserLog/{{{User|{{{1|Example}}}}}}|log]])</span>{{#ifeq:{{NAMESPACE}}|User talk|<!-- redundant to noindex user talk -->|__NOINDEX__}}<noinclude>{{#ifeq:{{SUBPAGENAME}}|sandbox||

The new output will be like this:

 Not done: please establish a consensus for this alteration before using the {{edit template-protected}} 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:

1. Hide the links to perform checkuser and view the checkuser log from non-check users
2. Remove the check to only add __NOINDEX__ 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):

<includeonly>{{#if:{{{User|{{{1|}}}}}}||[[Category:Checkuser with no specified user]]}}</includeonly><span class="plainlinks cuEntry">{{noping|{{{User|{{{1|Example}}}}}}}}

with this code:

<includeonly>{{#if:{{{User|{{{1|}}}}}}||[[Category:Checkuser with no specified user]]}}</includeonly><span class="plainlinks cuEntry">{{no ping|{{{User|{{{1|Example}}}}}}}}

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 Wikipedia: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, "Шериф" from Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Терентьев Константин Викторович, "Шериф"". Smells like some urlencode operation not being done properly. -- RoySmith (talk) 17:11, 23 December 2021 (UTC)
