It depends on whether you mean "name of author" or "name of authenticated 
account".  Note that these do not have to be the same -- the username I use
to access the wiki might not be the same as the author name I use to
indicate my contributions.

$Author is the variable that represents a person's "signature" --
i.e., the value entered in the "Author:" field in the edit form.  
$AuthId is the variable that represents an authenticated 
identity (e.g., via authuser.php).
