Description
With @lucaswerkmeister we are exploring hosting OpenRefine instances for the Wikidata community. As part of that, we would need to migrate Wikidata authentication to OAuth.
https://github.com/scribejava/scribejava/pull/852 adds support for MediaWiki OAuth to the scribejava OAuth library. We also need support in Wikidata-Toolkit (see https://github.com/Wikidata/Wikidata-Toolkit/issues/268).

Research direction
Start by reviewing the linked scribejava MediaWiki OAuth pull request and the Wikidata-Toolkit issue to understand the required authentication flow. Then locate the Wikidata extension's current authentication entry point; done means Wikidata authentication has been migrated to OAuth with the referenced external support in place.
