Admin Forum:How can I see a registered user's IP address?

The wikia I operate is closely tied to an online game. They've made it known that if someone vandalises the wikia, they would like me to give them an IP address so they can compare it against their user lists and block the offender from chat within the game (typically, for 24 hours on first offence, but with repeat offenses resulting in a possible game ban). This system has worked nicely, as long as I could see the IP address. Is there a way for me to find the IP address on a user that has registered a name on the Wikia that I'm a Bureaucrat/Admin for?

Thanks for your time.

 * Unfortunately, this is a task only staff and VSTF can perform. --


 * To clarify, you can send in a "CheckUser request" to Special:Contact, requesting these kinds of things. 1358  (Talk)  14:18, March 1, 2012 (UTC)
 * The IP address of a logged in user is considered private information, and so it's not normally revealed. Whilst you might be able to get an exception from staff for this, I would doubt it. The best thing to do would be to explain the relationship in a contact request to staff --  Random Time  15:28, March 1, 2012 (UTC)
