It seems that user names are exposed outside domain - e.g non-Wikimedia sites.
This is privacy concern: editors in Wikipedia may not want to share other sites
that they are editors and their user names in Wikipedia.


Example: 
1. login to Wikipedia
2.  go to http://randomfax.net/wiki/
3. wait for page load
4. your username is shown in the top.
