Inactive check users
 | This page is no longer active. The community has kept it to save the history of Simple English Wikipedia. Maybe the page is no longer correct, or there is no agreement on what should happen to it. If you think the community should start using this page again, you should ask at a place such as Simple talk. |
| This idea was rejected by the community. There was no general agreement among users and it seems unlikely for there to ever be one. |
 | This page in a nutshell: A check user who has not used the tools at least five time in six months will be considered inactive and the user shall lose the tools |

The check users are a group of admins who are given access to the check user toolset to use in cases of vandalism, cross-wiki abuse, long-term abuse by banned editors and in other cases where access to private information such as a user's IP addresses, user agent, XFF data and physical location indications can be found. It is an advanced right granted to senior admins by the stewards on behalf of the WMF upon the successful election by the local community.
Inactive check users
The check user tool is most useful by staying active with it. This is because investigations performed with it are often connected cross-wiki and go on for some time. For this reason a CU who only rarely uses the tool is not in a position to follow current events going on in the sock-puppetry, and xwiki vandalism worlds.
It is therefore the position of this proposal that any check user who does not use the tool at least five times during any six months period will lose access to the tool by removal by a steward upon the request of a bureaucrat.
Restoration of the tools
Restoration of the tools would require going through a normal RfCU at the request for permissions page and election by the community.
