Bug ID: 69303
Summary: Provide unique ID in identify OAuth response
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All

Severity: normal

Currently only information about the user in identify response is username.
This is problematic because usernames can be changed
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Username_policy#Changing_your_username).
So it is impossible to track users as they are changing usernames. Can you
expose some unique non-changing ID? Probably SQL table has an ID for user row?
