interwiki authorization on another site

Hi!

I have two private wikis where authorization using a login and password is required.

I want to transclude a page from one wiki into another.

If I use the Interwiki link like 'https://my-first.net/w/$1' I get an authorization request on the page

How can I change the link to include the username and password for authorization?

Or maybe there is another way to transclude a page from one wiki to another where login is required?

You'll have to publish a third wiki, accessible only internally (from the same server and not externally), with the same LocalSettings.php and database but changing it to allow anyone to read. Then add a different interwiki that points to that internal URL. If done correctly, the server would be able to communicate to itself without problems without anyone else being able to access it. Note, however, that anyone from the wiki would be able to read any page using transclusions, unless you only whitelist read the pages you want to be transcluded.

unfortunately it seems to be the only possible way

maybe the developers will pay attention to this request

But thanks anyway for the idea!
