Hi all,
This is prior notice that, per bug 58626,[1] the user ID number will no
longer be visible in user preferences.[2]
User ID is public information, and will continue to be accessible via the
API or Special:Redirect. However, since user IDs are only relevant for
technical purposes, there's really no reason the average non-technical user
needs access via Preferences.
I'm sure this will get added to Tech News, if it hasn't already.
