Auto authenticate punBB users in MediaWiki

by lightonflux » Sat Nov 16, 2013 12:23

Hi there,

i think it would be great if people could edit in the minetest wiki without the need of registering an account (IP adresses are not that helpful).

IMHO it would be great if you can use your username from the forum to use it in the wiki, without the need of an extra password etc.

I found a MediaWiki Extensions that would do that:

Greetings lightonflux

In order to do this, it would need to be on an address like this: forum.minetest.net/wiki

This is because it uses a cookie for the user system, and cookies are only sent to the same address.

No. Subdomains are okay.

Can you override this system then, and tell the client to send the cookie to all subdomains?
