Platonides: ok, thx for the info. Actually I am creating 3 new wikis (using same DB, different prefixes), could you please tell me what to do to share the user DB or give any link about this issue? I have only phpMyAdmin access and I'm a complete slq noob :-/
Thx in advance.

I think it is called "Single Sign-On". It's a big new feature they are turning on for Wikipedia and its siblings. Hope that helps your
search,
I haven't implemented it yet myself so I can't be of more help.

so I don't know if I should risk to use it. Does anyone installed this

Thx in advance.

That extension is the same as SUL (Single Sign-On), which is NOT what Kenny asked. It's a system for wikis where you have one account on each and you want to merge them. If you are creating the wikis, they should be configured to share the user db from the beginning. This is the method used at wikia.
