    People who write code that uses the phrase log in right in the user interface and then refer to the same feature as "sign on" are just stupid. If they can't think clearly enough to use the same name for the same thing all the time, they can't think clearly enough to code it properly either.

    "Single sign-on" is iirc the established CS term for this kind of functionality. That propably explains the lapse in naming. --Juxo 12:29, 29 Aug 2004 (EEST)
    Never heard it before. But in any case if they call it login in mediawiki this has to be called single login, since it's a mediawiki feature, right?
    Try getting sloppy on names with a compiler.
    Internally it's just implemented as $wgUserTablePrefix, but that's not catchy and aliterative. -- Tim Starling 18:34, 30 Aug 2004 (EEST)
