Description

Currently checking if user has been renamed in the past is kind of time-consuming.
It would be nice if CentralAuth displays global rename history on "Previous global account changes" (F25165985), where it currently just displays lock/unlock logs.

👍 This would definitely be a useful feature, particularly for monitoring users that have requested multiple renames. I'm not sure how often this occurs on the Wikimedia projects, but it certainly does happen fairly often on non-Wikimedia projects. Should we re-add this idea to the community wish list for 2021?
