Description

When checking applicants the text "View Wikipedia SUL info" currently links to https://tools.wmflabs.org/quentinv57-tools/tools/sulinfo.php?username=

I think https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:CentralAuth/ would be much better.

It turns out we were using the tool because when accounts got merged, CentralAuth sometimes picks the wrong account when given a username. The tool, on the other hand, lists all possible accounts in the case of ambiguity. So while it's a little slower (and a tool rather than on-wiki) it's less likely to cause issues.

We could, however, link to both.

The mentioned tool is unmaintained and will not work unless someone offers to maintain it. See the ongoing issues at T194343.
