I think "Special:CentralAuth" is a weird implementation detail that probably doesn't need to be so directly exposed in the user interface. Perhaps we can add an alias or rename the Special page and make "Special:CentralAuth" an alias? Something like "Special:GlobalUser" would be fine.

There's already a [[Special:GlobalUsers]]. Introducing a "Special:GlobalUser" may make things confusing. Can another name be suggested?
Was looking at CentralAuth and found this request, so might as well do it (even after 4 years :P)

[mediawiki/extensions/CentralAuth@master] Make Special:GlobalAccount alias for Special:CentralAuth
Thanks for working on this. I'd prefer that the Special page be renamed to "Special:GlobalAccount" or maybe even "Special:AccountInfo" over keeping the existing "Special:CentralAuth" canonical name. That is, could we make "Special:CentralAuth" the alias and then rename this page to have a clearer and less jargon-y page title?
Not really. It's always possible someone who works at the Wikimedia Foundation will chime in, as much as it's possible that a community volunteer will as well. :-)
All right. This task has been sitting here for a few years, as you note. Anyone is welcome to comment and discuss.
