I like using wikidata and they prefer we use the hidden (unchanging) numeric id for a Twitter account, rather than the text username that can change.
I have used 3rd-party sites that find the id for you (and know its in a few place in the source of the page), but was wondering if anyone has found a link on an official twitter site that will show it in a URL?
Failing that is there a username to id converter that inputs and output via URL's? Currently, the wikidata tools all seem to be about data in URL's rather than the body of a page.
You could try replacing the @redditstatus user ID in this example with your own: twitter.com/intent/user?user_id=166661250
