An edit made via OAuth is tagged with a revision tag that reads: --- (Tag: OAuth CID: 2) --- This is confusing. What does "CID" stand for? Why isn't it linked? Can this wording be made simpler? Is this tag necessary?
There was pretty strong consensus for implementing a way to see all edits for an OAuth client. Tags let us do that easily, and tie into WMF's analytics easily. We should have that link to the Consumer's public listing (Special:MWOAuthListConsumers/view/<key>) after Gerrit change #88251 is merged.

Okay, but confusing initialisms and other jargon shouldn't be the default. Perhaps instead of "OAuth CID", we can use "authorized app" or something? We can't sprinkle page histories and recent changes feeds with terminology that nobody outside of developers will even begin to understand.
