Hi again, I am reformulating my (unanswered yet) question: would it be useful and easy on a standard mediawiki site or even on wikipedia sites, to allow login authentication by not only offering the unique pair (user_name; user_password) but also the pair (user_email; user_password)? Some

Thanks John for your comment. It would mean that people logging with an email will have a default account (lowest ID with the same email or whatever rule). For authorship Wikimedia doesn't encourage multiple account names (multiple (3?) pseudos are blamed). And usually, for a corporate wiki
