A rough outline of how this could work: 1. the user needs to register their own application. There is no API for this, so the user has to do this on-site, and has to select which permissions will be given.. This gives us consumer_key and consumer_secret, which need to be set somewhere. 2. The user then needs to log in with that token, using the OAuth handshake shown on https://github.com/wikimedia/MediaWiki-OAuth 3. We then have to sign requests. I'm not sure how to do this -- the underlying OAuth library ( https://pypi.python.org/pypi/oauthlib ) probably provides this? This is not really convenient, though, so I'm not sure if @Krinkle's use case is actually covered well by the existing MediaWiki OAuth implementation. Alternatively, we can provide a consumer_key and not-so-secret consumer_secret in pywikibot itself (that's how Google suggests to solve this workflow in their API) TASK DETAIL https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T74065 REPLY HANDLER ACTIONS Reply to comment or attach files, or !close, !claim, !unsubscribe or !assign <username>.
