Add possibility of OAuth login via Wikipedia account system

[hugolpz]

Issue made to keep idea in mind.

Use-case :

• user login on lingualibre
  • if username DOES NOT exist on Wikipedia, create Wikipedia account, then LOG IN globally
  • if username EXIST on Wikipedia, require same password as Wikipedia and LOG IN globally
  • if username EXIST on Wikipedia and PASS FAILS, then display : "This username seems already taken with another password. Please check your username, password, or use an other username to log in". This then fall back on the 2 previous paths. :dancer:

We need this feature to be implemented in lingua libre, so that we can use the user's wikipedia account to upload the files to commons and link to dictionary.

French devs would prefer that each user on LinguaLibre push to commons via its own Wikimedia account. @0x010C : any forcast for you setting this up ? Can you ask your boss some time to work on this ?

Discussed this on the mailing list for commons1. Please read this thread. Commons devs apparently prefer oauth only.

Yes yes, push to commons via OAUTH...

My username on LL is yug or whatever, I provide my wikipedian username as yug, So by connecting on LL, when I records an audio there, then at LL's pipeline sends the audios to commons... ...on commons, the file's history must show up User:Yug, something such :

NOT user:LinguaLibreBot or similar, which would be copyright thief by bot ! ^^

Nowadays, tools generally use OAuth to upload on the user's behalf. See examples: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Upload_tools#Transfer_tools
