From mediawiki.org
Manual:Contents MediaWiki database layout external_user table

The external_user table tracked external user accounts, if ExternalAuth via AuthPlugin was used.

MediaWiki versions:
1.16 – 1.21

The table has been removed in MediaWiki 1.22 gerrit:54900 along with the ExternalAuth functionality. AuthManager should be used instead.
