Hi, I don't think thats possible since you don't have access to the Wikimedia user database. Best, Huib

I think he is looking more for something like OpenID but with Wikimedia accounts, not for a copy of the user table** Alexis ** that would be one of the funniest scam attempt ever :-p

Yep, but I guess that isn't possible since the Wikimedia Privacy policy? 2011/3/8 Alexis Moinet <alexis.moinet(a)umons.ac.be>
