I thought about this some more and realized that basically what I need
is a stack of MediaWiki functions that get called after I finish doing
my external auth, before I redirect the user back to the wiki. It would
look like this:
userExists?
yes: userLoggedIn?
yes: direct to wiki
no: logInUser; direct to wiki
no: createUser; logInUser; direct to wiki
I can only assume that these functions exist in MW and that I can
import them from somewhere and use them in my own code. Does that make
sense?
