confirming what you said. additionally it states that oauth is not for
authenticaiton. oauth's purpose is to access users resources from some
resource provider, while openid_connect should be used to authenticate.
does openid_connect work with wikipedia and is it the best option

OpenID Connect uses OAuth 2 and Wikipedia only supports OAuth 1 currently.
We have a custom authentication endpoint that works in a similar way to
OpenID Connect:
