Although I agree with pretty much everyone else here in thinking this is
a terrible idea... Someone else obviously had this terrible idea as
well. I think this site has exactly what you are looking for:

You must *really* trust your users (or anyone who can figure out
usernames).
Using Kerberos, NTLM, SSL, Shibboleth, or some other type of
auto-authentication is a MUCH better idea if you can possibly use it.

Subject: [Mediawiki-l] Identification without Authentication
Hi,
I'm evaluating the use of MediaWiki in a corporate server.
In such environment, my need for the "login" stage is only to
identify people. I do not need them to authenticate (no need
to password). The need is to know who made what, in a
"confident" world.
Is it possible to configure MediaWiki to only require a login (without
password) and only check that this login exists in a LDAP database?
Thanks in advance for any tips.
