Hi,
I noticed a tweet announcing the possibility using your Wikipedia
account to edit OpenStreetMap. See the Wikipedia logo at
https://www.openstreetmap.org/login . That's really nice!
After a bit of digging I found the registration at
https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:OAuthListConsumers/vie…
and looks like the consumer got one grant: "Applicable grants: User
identity verification only with access to real name and email address
via Special:OAuth/identify, no ability to read pages or act on a user's
behalf."
So when used, the emailaddress of the user is shared with a third party.
Is this in line with the privacy policy (
https://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Privacy_policy ) ? The user isn't
warned beforehand, you realize it after granting the right and you get
to some registration process with your emailaddress already pre-filled.
Don't we want to warn the user what rights are being granted before
approving? The current message is "In order to complete your request,
OpenStreetMap needs permission to access information on all projects of
this site on your behalf. No changes will be made with your account. "
