Configuring a set of working together wikis to use a shared user table $wgSharedDB (see http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:%24wgSharedDB ) can state the database name but can not state the table prefix (table prefix as $wgDBprefix , see http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:%24wgDBprefix ) of the the (MySQL) shared user table. If I have understood http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:%24wgSharedDBright, all the wikis need to use the same table prefix (or no table prefix) but one can not get that, if he/she is making up a set of wikis using a single (MySQL) database, just using table prefix to divide eache wiki's tables (and maybe other applications) In such circumstances, shared user table can not work. I asked for workaround in IRC #mediawiki, some weeks ago, but it was not possible.
