Description

Phabricator profile "LDAP User" link goes to Wikitech, but users no longer need to have a Wikitech account since https://idm.wikimedia.org/ was introduced. It is very confusing to encounter one of such users, follow the link and see an error message that the account is not registered. For example: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/p/theprotonade/

Is there some better place where this link could be pointed to?

Note this is not a new thing with idm - the Toolforge admin console has been creating developer accounts without an attached Wikitech account for years.

What to do? Remove the linking from the "LDAP User" entry on a Phab user profile and make that plain text instead?

Indeed, I think that's the best way to address this.
