Patch for allowing user_name OR user_email authentication
Patch of the proposed solution.
Works fine for corporate MediaWiki installations.
Pro: Lets you enter your email for login authentication. If successful your are
logged as if you entered your username.
Cons: Somebody could try to look at the contribution of somebody by entering
her e-mail and could determine her username.
Conclusions: Very useful for corporate Wiki where the link between e-mail and
official username hasn't to be "strictly" hidden.
For Wikipedia where people are using pseudos and sometimes many different
pseudos, this patch is not appropriate.
The aim of this patch is to permit users to sign articles with their Unicode
standard signature (username) and not their English-transliterated signature.
An email address is easier to enter than a complex input method which may not
exist on many standard devices.
Without this patch, corporate wikis tend to force people using an English
transliterated signature for their username.
