Have you looked at using OAuth for authentication?
Yes; the modules in use support OAuth but we made a conscious decision to support anonymity. Lack of anonymity can interfere with the operation of the reviewer reputation database.

An Outreachy candidate for http://mediawiki.org/wiki/Accuracy_review who went ahead and started unpaid has been making good progress, and is about to land the central guts of the project on github. It's a new way to transition from creating to maintaining Wikipedia articles, with an emphasis on detecting outdated statistics, fighting bias including paid advocacy of all kinds, and proofreading WEP student work. It's been going slow, mostly because the original trial run architecture was too dependent on email.
However, before she gets there, could one or two people who are maybe beginner or intermediate with Python but advanced with Mediawiki or PHP please test her user authentication and login framework?

It's built for PythonAnywhere because it shouldn't run on Wikimedia servers, because of the safe harbor DMCA provisions precluding editorial control by web hosts. Please report any issues on github and note your results on the Phabricator task to prevent duplication of effort.
Thanks in advance!
