Many Standard Model extensions predict doubly-charged scalars; in particular, all models including resonances in charged lepton pair channels with non-vanishing lepton number. However, if pair produced at the LHC, it is necessary the observation of their decay into $l^\pm l^\pm W^\mp W^\mp$ to establish its lepton number violating character, what is in general not straightforward. In any case, the analysis of events with four charged leptons, including scalar decays into one or two taus as well as into $W$ bosons, allows for discriminating between the type of scalar electroweak multiplet addition the doubly-charged scalar belongs to, a singlet, a doublet, a triplet, a quadruplet, or a quintuplet if no scalars with larger electric charges exist. The singlet case also requires, however, the non-observation of single doubly-charged scalar production, through charged currents, because its pair production very much resembles that of the doublet addition.
