This template is a general-purpose template for Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations, which is intended to replace the old RFCU and SPIclose templates as well as formally deprecate the old "code letter" system of CheckUser requests.

The template takes only one parameter, which is optional. Details are given below.

{{SPI case status|status}}

When a parameter is placed as shown above, it will display the following:
