Summary: API: user IDs
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Platform: All

It would be nice if the API could supply user IDs anywhere that user names are
currently an option, e.g. prop=revisions. This would allow clients to use the
ID rather than the name as an identifier for the user, as can be done currently
with page IDs, an advantage when dealing with large numbers of items.
Revisions by anonymous users would I believe end up with 0 as the user ID this
way, which may render it unsuitable for some purposes but would certainly be OK
for mine.
