Hi all, This is prior notice that, per bug 58626,[1] the user ID number will no longer be visible in user preferences.[2]
User ID is public information, and will continue to be accessible via the API or Special:Redirect. However, since user IDs are only relevant for technical purposes, there's really no reason the average non-technical user needs access via Preferences. I'm sure this will get added to Tech News, if it hasn't already. 1. https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=58626 2. https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/132916/ -- Steven Walling, Product Manager https://wikimediafoundation.org/
