Sometimes the problem comes up that an external tool
needs to verify
whether a user is the same user as on a wiki. For example one may want
an opt-in system for an editcounter [1]. Or you are organizing a
competition in which every Wikimedian can vote [2]. Currently such
authentication is done with various hacks, such as posting some code
in an edit summary, abusing the mail features of mediawiki or having
the user post a certain token to a wiki page. This is not ideal and
moreover quite complicated for the non tech savvy people.
I imagine this would be fixed with SUL (Singer User Login)
