We don't have the expertise to develop an extension for this, but would happy to
sponsor development and/or help in testing.
Next to registration/login it would be nice if LinkedIn profile information could be
transferred to the wiki.
What security aspects are you referring to?
Thanks!

I don't know of an extension that does OAuth logins as a client, that
would be compatible with Linkedin. I think there is an extension for
Google login, which should be based on OAuth2/OIDC, which would
probably work.
Extension:OAuth is for running an OAuth 1.0a server, which would allow
other sites to use your wiki as the login provider. I've got an
extension to do the client side, using mediawiki's identification
extension, which I've been working on purely as a volunteer. I'll get
that in an official repo sometime soon, since adapting it to Linkedin
would be fairly easy (if you're ok solely relying on ssl for certain
security aspects).

Does anyone have experience with that?
https://developer.linkedin.com/documents/authentication says they support
2.0 and 1.0a.
https://mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:OAuth says we support 1.0a. But I think
we don't support your use case? i.e. we support registering client libs to
use the API but not delegating login authentication top a 3rd party.
Nor sure if there are plans for that. But you're certainly welcome to write
it yourself. :)

CC Chris who surely knows more about the status than I do.
-Jeremy, who personally would avoid using a site if that was their only auth
option (but maybe you don't want to be exclusive, can't tell)
