Extension:OAuth/en

The OAuth extension implements an OAuth server in MediaWiki that supports both the OAuth 1.0a and OAuth 2.0 protocol versions. It allows third party developers to securely develop applications ("consumers"), to which users can give a limited set of permissions ("grants"), so that the application can use the MediaWiki action API on the user's behalf.
