Hi @GeoffreyT2000. Please associate at least one project with this task to allow others to find this task when searching in the corresponding project(s). Is this about something in MediaWiki core? Is this about code in such extension? Thanks.

ActorStore is cross-wiki aware and could be used, it also has a cache for frequent asked existing users
Or storing global ids and using CentralIdLookup
The code changes since the creation of this task gives more ways to implement the same, not needed to change UserCache
