right now, we don't have a good way to tie external edits (e.g. from wikidata) to a user on the client. With single user accounts on wmf, that could provide way. If central auth is not available (e.g. on third-party wikis), then it would be good to have another identifier for rc_id for "external" users, like -1. Or figure out another way to better handle these so they do not show up as "anon". -------------------------- **Version**: master **Severity**: normal **Whiteboard**: u=dev c=backend p=0
