Any links to documentation on consuming data from the CentralAuth databases is welcome. We searched a bit and found mostly installation instructions.

Hi all,
I'm trying to add a feature to Wikimetrics that will allow users to create a cohort with a username and find all accounts across wikis. I want to use the CentralAuth database, because as far as I can tell, it stores the global username and all the local usernames. However, I don't see where it connects the globalusers to the localusers. Is it just the username?
Does the username have to be the same across local wikis and you query the localuser table with what you think is the global username? If that's the case, I suppose I don't need to look at the global table.
Thanks, Teresa _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
