Adam,
this is not technical but community problem. That should be first
discussed with the communities - all of them - not only en.wiki whether
there is any need for that solution. Which I doubt.
I do not see many positives coming from using it but a lot of negatives.
Enforcing that would mean having much less contributors.
Also as already stated it would force us into getting more information
about contributors which is not what the communities want. Especially in
the moment of upcoming GDPR regulation that affects whole commmunity.

Wikitech-l,
Greetings. I would like to describe an exciting scenario possible with OpenID
Connect.
In the scenario, after choosing to verify their name on their Wikipedia
account, a user logs onto Wikipedia and uses OpenID Connect to link their
Wikipedia account to multiple verified accounts, for example their Facebook and
LinkedIn accounts. At the end of the process, we can envision the user
obtaining a checkmark next to their full name on Wikipedia, their real name and
a verification icon appearing next to their edits and on their user page. There
might even be, per user settings, hyperlinks to their Facebook and LinkedIn
pages on their Wikipedia user page. With such features, we can envision
allowing groups of users or admins to determine that certain articles require a
verified account to edit.
Presently, OpenID Connect functionality is available for MediaWiki as an
extension. I would like to see the OpenID Connect functionality under
discussion expanded to support scenarios including aforementioned and also
integrated into MediaWiki.
Thank you. I hope that the above ideas are also interesting to you in the
Wikitech-l community.
Best regards,
Adam Sobieski
