## Project description
MediaWiki supports OAuth v1.0a as a method of authentication via [OAuth extension](https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:OAuth). This project adds OAuth v1.0a support for [Pywikibot](https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Pywikibot), which is a collection of tools that automate work on MediaWiki sites.
Pywikibot could be used as an OAuth application for MediaWiki sites with OAuth extension installed and configured properly. Users could use Pywikibot to authenticate accounts and replace password with OAuth authentication as an alternative login method.
This project also includes unit tests related to OAuth authentication and its integration with Pywikibot.
## Missing features/known bugs
Project related:
- Certificate test can't fail as the certificate is valid: T101138
Not project strictly related:
- Nonce already used regularly occurring on beta cluster: T109173
- config.authenticate should allow configuration using family/lang: T108334
Upstream related:
- Python 2.6 using cryptography package 0.8.2: T108061
- TypeError with ndg-httpsclient on Python2.7: T105767
## Demo server link
All implemented features are all merge in Pywikibot's master branch, so there's no individual demo.
