[Pywikipedia-bugs] [Maniphest] [Created] T183466: Provide an option to auto-create account on a first log-in to a local wiki under SUL

whym created this task. whym added a project: Pywikibot-login.py. Herald added subscribers: pywikibot-bugs-list, Aklapper.

TASK DESCRIPTION

It appears that Pywikibot does not support auto-creation of local accounts under SUL. Auto-creation happens on someone's first visit to a SUL-connected wiki when they have a global account. It's apparently supported by MediaWiki API, too.

Could login.py support auto-creation?

Currently, when I try to log in to a new SUL-connected wiki, it will result in NoUsername:
