I don't think you can do that with just an auth plugin. You would need to modify the SpecialUserLogin code to look for that email. PS: What's the big issue with copy&paste or transliteration? Doesn't your users have a keyboard layout able to type *their own name*? I understand the issue when a third party needs to enter them, but eg. Russian people usually have/can switch to a cyrillic keyboard layout. _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l
