I've looked into doing Single Sign On using an external userlist in
MediaWiki for a project at work.  We made it far enough to know it was
possible but didn't finish the work.  See
http://wiki.case.edu/CaseWiki:External_Authentication#Create_Your_Custom_AuthPlugin_Extension

In this world, there's still a mediawiki account, but it's
auto-created at first authentication from the authentication provider
(in our case, FAS).
