It's much more information, and far mor actionable, than an IP address.

It's much easier to remember a user name than an IP address. And, if I see their username in game, I can have a more informed opinion on whether or not I want them as an ally, or want them benefitting off of my seeds, etc. I can't do any of that with an IP.

The difference between you and the "Wikia contributors" is that at least I can see your name on the post and not even bother reading it without having to consult a list of IPs.
