UserInfoCard: Extend the UserInfo feature into a special page
Open, MediumPublic
Actions

Description

Motivation

The UserInfo card shows data about a user that is not visible elsewhere. It would be possible to share this directly if it is made into its own Special page.

Requested on wiki: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Talk:Product_Safety_and_Integrity/Anti-abuse_signals/User_Info#The_user_info_should_also_be_a_special_page by @Graham87

I think this is an interesting idea, but potentially a lot of work for relatively little use. One thought might be to converge efforts with GrowthExperiments ' Special:Impact, and fold Special:Impact into a Special:UserInfo page.

This will also make user info available for non-JS users.
