Summary: allow login with email as well as username
Product: MediaWiki
Version: wikimedia-deployment
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Normal
Component: User login
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
Apologies if this is a duplicate.
It was suggested to me (and so I am passing it on) that we allow login to the
projects with an email address as well as a username. So the field would read
Username (or email address):
The idea behind this is that for casual editors, remembering one's username is
a pain, especially on a big project like Wikimedia where many common usernames
may be already taken. The step of trying to recover a lost username and
password takes of valuable time and is frustrating and may be a slight barrier
to entry for casual editors.
