Enable MediaWiki login in Phabricator
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Wikimedia has developed an OAuth provider for MediaWiki login to Phabricator which allows users to connect or register using existing MediaWiki accounts.

This would make it a lot easier for users to get started on Phabricator and is something we should look at.

Event Timeline

The Wikimedia code for this is available in their phabricator/extensions repository.

Previous attempts to install this have resulted in errors, resulting in having to remove it. Having a look at the README today, it would seem this may have been cleaned up to make it easier to install, and in particular install just the login provider, which is the part we want at present.

Which errors did you get?

To do with library loading - this was in one of the releases before Phabricator made it a lot easier to enable extensions. My previous comment notes that a lot has changed and it should be a lot easier if we try it again now.

This is now working, feel free to link your accounts!
