Also, if it's any help to mention....
I have been very happy with this SUL tool, which I have used to confirm user names, edit counts, and which areas of Wikimedia / Wikipedia new and experienced editors are editing. I set up a VLOOKUP that I use to confirm user names, and use the user ID as the control / unique identifier (i.e., User ID : 27454434).

I set this up for the WM NYC 2015 Metrics document, as the first step for gathering metrics is gathering names of users who are participating in editathons.
And yes, I am ashamed how low my Wikidata edit count is. :-)

p.s. Also notice there's another tool -- for unified accounts only:
