This is not possible to use Wikimetrics without leaking private information to Google, Twitter, NSA and co. This is against Wikimedia privacy protection usages and probably rules. A standalone login system and/or SUL connector should be available in place of the current solution.

Hi Emmanuel,
We will be adding OAuth Mediawiki support as soon as that's stable.
What private information is leaking? I think your reference to NSA is not substantive.
Best,

I think, I misunderstand: Do you seriously want me to make a synthesis about Google/NSA practices regarding Google's user's private data?
I don't want a synthesis, but "[citation needed]" comes to my mind. :)
If Wikimedia uses Google services or Wikimetrics "leaks information", please provide a link to that code or page and elaborate.
So far this ticket is way too vague to act or really discuss, unfortunately.
