User blog comment:Opei/Suggestion: Request page for global checkuser./@comment-5175866-20140513194837

CheckUser rights are a tool staff use. Users may request IP checks to be checked, whether a wiki is dealing with sockpuppetry, to someone using your account with no permisssion. All of these may be requested via Special:Contact. Staff will perform these. The CC Administrators and Moderators also have this ability as well as the VSTF. CheckUser rights aside from global volunteers only reside in wikis with large amounts of vandalism (usually large wikis). Thus, there would really be no point in having a global checkuser comitee, because juridsections would have be to be split from groups in which they belong to, and require time to process IP checks. The CheckUser global right is only around as a legacy item.
