# MediaWiki OAuth1 backend ## Backend class For Django, add this class path to `AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS`. For other integrations, use the same class path in the framework-specific backend setting. | Backend name | Class path | |----------------|--------------------------------------------| | `mediawiki` | `social_core.backends.mediawiki.MediaWiki` | ## Usage In addition to the general setup you need to define the following settings: ```default SOCIAL_AUTH_MEDIAWIKI_KEY = SOCIAL_AUTH_MEDIAWIKI_SECRET = SOCIAL_AUTH_MEDIAWIKI_URL = 'https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php' ``` In the OAuth consumer registration you can choose the option to: > Allow consumer to specify a callback in requests > and use “callback” URL above as a required prefix This is preferable. If your URL is https://myurl.org/ use the following option: ```default SOCIAL_AUTH_MEDIAWIKI_CALLBACK = \ 'https://myurl.org/oauth/complete/mediawiki' ``` But it is also possible to use: ```default SOCIAL_AUTH_MEDIAWIKI_CALLBACK = 'oob' ``` ## General documentation [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:OAuth](https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:OAuth) ## Developer documentation [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/OAuth/For_Developers](https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/OAuth/For_Developers) ## Code based on [https://github.com/mediawiki-utilities/python-mwoauth](https://github.com/mediawiki-utilities/python-mwoauth) ## External memberships See [External groups](../groups.html.md) for opt-in extraction, group-based login restrictions, and local group synchronization. No separate extraction pipeline step is needed.
