I mean MediaWiki, you are right maybe I didn't make it clear.

Sorry for the missunderstanding, what I write is an extension for MediaWiki
not Wikimedia.

I will ask my question, even though I'm starting to think ​that I just
mixed up MediaWiki and WikiMedia:

In order to add a digital latch to an account there is a need to add an
input text field under the user prefferences account
 I attach a diagram to clarify this and also an screenshot that I just took
from tuenti (is a social network used in Spain, kind of like facebook, that
uses Latch).

So I need to know if I can add this input text in the mediawiki user page
under "prefferences".


​​I would definitely reccomend coordinating with people working on similar
> extensions.


​Ok, I will do so.


Thank you for your time,
Paula.​
