Bug #: 30348
Summary: Add Oauth support to Mediawiki
Product: MediaWiki
Version: 1.19-svn
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: General/Unknown
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
Based on the following discussions:
1)
http://strategy.wikimedia.org/wiki/Proposal:Implement_OAuth_for_MediaWiki_(and_employ_in_Wikimedia)
2) http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/OAuth
3) http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg04104.html
this is a request to add Oauth support to Mediawiki. This implementation should
provide at a minimum (technical perspective):
1) An easy way to keep track of edits made by a particular Oauth service
2) As a start, only simple write access, not all the other actions as they are
exposed by the API.
3) It should be 100% transparent who the editor was who made the edit
4) A way for admins to block all edits from a specific tool as easily as they
can currently block or revert all edits from a specific user
5) Not possible to take dangerous admin-only actions (e.g. editing interface
messages)
Community perspective:
1) Policies on what kind of Oauth services to accept.
2) Policies on whether the Oauth service should be open source.
3) Policies on when to revoke an Oauth service access to the Wikipedia
websites.
4) Wikimedia's privacy policy and Creative Commons license always apply to
edits made through an Oauth service.
Please add your comments if I have missed important aspects.
