Yes, staff do apply administrator CheckUser right when there are vandals vandalizing the wiki. Usually, vandals created alt accounts, which evade their block.

If an administrator of the wiki feels like the vandal continually vandalize the wiki and making alt account for a long time, that's where Staff will give them CheckUser right.

CheckUser right is permanent right. Why? Because people with CheckUser right can check IP address on a logged in users, and they check to see if the location of the vandal and the sock account is around the same place. If they do, then the administrator with CheckUser right will block them without waiting and "assuming" if the alt account really is the vandal.

But it doesn't stop the vandal from creating alt accounts. CheckUser right is an administrator's helping hand.
