Hi, What about using OAuth[1] to get a specific scope of rights of the user? For Gather (the extension, that provides the collection feature) the view and edit watchlist rights _should_ be enough (I haven't tested it). That would be more accurate as requesting the user to enter the username and password from another project on a foreign page :) You can find some information on the OAuth extension page[2].

Datum: Wed, 15 Jul 2015 13:34:29 +0200 Von: Paul Arzelier <paul.arzelier(a)free.fr> An: wikitech-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org Hi! We're trying to use the collections (a beta wikipedia feature) on a wikimedia external website, http://wikijourney.eu, which delivers wikipedia-driven tourist tours. In order to use the collections' API, we need the user to log in his wikipedia account, and it would be nice to have a log-in form directly on the website. Does anyone know if it's possible? _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
