Description SJ 2009-04-19 23:36:16 UTC 
When a username is hidden, the links to user contribs and the like should still exist, but should show only the userid, not the name.  Currently, when viewing a contrib made by a hidden user, the links to the userpage or contribs are missing.  Example: see linked url.

1. The diff view should show something like this, at a first pass:

   user 195820 (contribs) 

2. A further improvement could allow showing also any remaining logs and user/talk pages if they are not deleted, rewriting them to use user ids instead of the original name... I'm not sure how to do that efficiently, however.
   user 195820 (talk | contribs | block) 
   special:centralauth/user:195820  /  user_talk:ditto  /  blocklog and related special pages
Comment 1 Mike.lifeguard 2009-04-20 16:10:49 UTC 
This has nothing to do with CentralAuth's global hiding. AFAICT, HideUser is doing what it is supposed to here & I would suggest a WONTFIX. Changing product, component, and adding Aaron to CC.

Closed. I may add a (contribs) link to Special:RevisionDelete for some extra convenience though.
