Other sites have "Login with Facebook". Wikipedia should too! At least leave this open as a long term goal 'LATER'.

All I know is the user sees a big blue block, <input id="wpLoginAttempt" tabindex="6" class="mw-ui-button mw-ui-big mw-ui-block mw-ui-primary" type="submit" value="Log in" name="wpLoginAttempt"> that gets them looking at it twice as it looks like something from Facebook. Then many of them probably start looking around the rest of the page for the real "Login with Facebook" button.

Has this changed recently? http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1827997/is-facebook-an-openid-provider
Wikimedia is not a social network and it doesn't need an even simpler registration for vandals. Furthermore, it wouldn't make registration simpler for users because it is already very uncomplicated.
All I said was "Login with Facebook", not all the other side/unrelated issues in all the above other above comments.
The icon should not be loaded from the facebook servers to avoid leaking of private information, when only visiting wikimedia sites. FYI: There is [[mw:Extension:Facebook]].
Not really a site request.
