Wikipedia:Requests for permissions/Temporary account IP viewer

Please review Wikipedia:Temporary account IP viewer before making a request. Successful applicants must:

• Have an account which is at least 6 months old and which has made at least 300 edits
• Agree to use the IP addresses in accordance with the Foundation's guidelines, solely for the investigation or prevention of vandalism, abuse, or other violations of Wikimedia Foundation or community policies, and understand the risks and responsibilities associated with this privilege

The above requirements are from the Wikimedia Foundation, and are not subject to admin discretion. Additionally, admins must be satisfied that the requesting user has a demonstrated need for access (for example, work at new page patrol, counter-vandalism, or sockpuppet investigations), and are permitted to decline applicants who meet these criteria but are otherwise unsuitable for access to this tool.

Once you have been granted the permission, you must check the box Preferences → User profile → Enable revealing IP addresses for temporary accounts in your preferences.
