**Description of the tool/project: **
We have a community blog called Diff. It's at diff.wikimedia.org. It uses WordPress as the content management system. We would like to allow readers and authors to authenticate using their Wikimedia accounts to submit articles, review existing articles, translate articles, and leave comments. To do this we have contracted with a developer to build a plugin for WordPress that uses the OAuth 2.0 functionality in MediaWiki to authenticate users.
**Description of how the tool will be used at WMF:**
Members of the Wikimedia community - including WMF staff - can visit Diff, authenticate with their existing Wikimedia account, and contribute to the blog.
**Dependencies**
The OAuth service running on Meta-wiki
**Has this project been reviewed before?**
Diff has been reviewed and we did review a prior OAuth solution. However that solution was less than ideal and abandoned. See T257335
**Working test environment**
We have a development environment at the URL below. User accounts can be requested.

As of the creation of this request we have code in our private repo. It is a work-in-progress and will change as we refine.
