Is there an easy way to do this?

Yeah, convert it to a mediawiki message so it can be modified on wiki like most messages.

Yep, sorry for not being clear. I meant if it'd be difficult to code that. Also, do we want one message for the (talk|contribs|block) (check) message or various? AFAIK CU code is a bit messy (what other devs said).

I would say 2 total messages, one for IPs one for users. If further customization is needed the messages can be updated on wiki to tweak the output.

I think I can create checkuser-links message for en.json, but putting that message in the code I don't know sadly. Message can be:

"checkuser-links": "([[User_talk:$1|talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/$1|contr.]] | [[Special:Block/$1|block]])"

which will allow local customization on local wikis by editting the MediaWiki:Checkuser-links code. The (Check) link I'd leave that as is right now, since it already gives your pre-filled CheckUser reason, which comes very handy.

Is this for "Get users" only? IMO, Special:CheckUser is badly in need of a UI revamp.

Preferably both users and IPs. so WHOIS and other links may be added
