A [[single login]] has been proposed and is being added to [[MediaWiki]].  This may be a first step to an [[interwiki identity standard]], equivalent to real-world [[w:passport]] security features that make it hard to pretend to be someone else, e.g. a political opponent, which would be a good thing since interwiki identity standard would almost eliminate the [[identity theft]] [[vandalism]], which can be very nasty
