Yes, that's a good example of how to be closer to people. However I think that the MediaWiki social network client can be use in case of really big crowdsourcing projects where we want to grasp a large amount of people. Most of the Russian internet users sitting in vk.com social network all the time. ----- Yury Katkov

have you seen the customization that wikia.com has done? it is a step in the right direction for social integration.

It's possible, but it would be a little ugly. You could write a web frontend to what would basically be a proxy handling the work on the backend over the api. However, there is no secure way for a user to login through something like that, so all of the edits would have to come from your app and not the user. Alternatively, you could write a javascript (or flash) application, and get it approved to make CORS/crossdomain requests to the target MediaWiki api, so the user would be making api calls directly. Getting the wiki admin to approve domains, or add a crossdomain.xml file may or may not be a problem for you.
OAuth will make the delegated authorization easier, but unfortunately the priority for getting OAuth integrated with MediaWiki is lower than some other critical projects right now, so it will be a few months before this is possible.

Hi everyone!
Is it possible to use MediaWiki as a service whereas the UI is located on a Facebook app? So all the editing and viewing is take place on a Facebook and MediaWiki provide the storage, revision control and lots of extensions?

MediaWiki social network client
tell me more, links?
There is no such client to the best of my knowledge. But here I don't think much about the big-text-projects like wikipedia: more about the projects where users need to - vote for the articles or - add really small fragments of text - or link page together via Semantic MediaWiki properties or - categorize and tagged the articles... these are all very small activities. The idea is that those activities can be shown in the social network MW-client in the most easy-to-consume way to the very broad audience. Or maybe they can be even gamified! ----- Yury Katkov

Maybe we can brainstorm this idea a little bit together? I have several crowdsourcing projects and I always suspect that the pure wiki editing requires too much motivation and it's not the best approach in many cases. ----- Yury Katkov

well what about the user granting you the rights to the comments etc under certain conditions and they just use fb and pull that data in via the api. so you would have some pages that are autogenerated via fb, you might have Talk:page for normal users and FB:Page for fb users.
