Hi everyone,
The WMF silently enabled Oauth on https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki . Most of you, if not all, have a SUL account. That means your Wikipedia account works on MediaWiki.org too. Now with the Oath interface this can be used to authenticate users. You can see it in action at https://tools.wmflabs.org/gerrit-patch-uploader/ . That means you can get rid of all the local authentication stuff we have right now.
