For a while now, when I login to Wikipedia, I am "automatically logged in" to "all other Wikimedia projects" (e.g. Wikicommons). However, when I click on links to Commons from Wikipedia articles, I am transferred in a logged out state... Doesn't this defeat the object of the multiple login thingy?
Please confirm that the images at the login page loaded and you aren't rejecting third-party cookies.
I assume all images loaded correctly, but I do reject 3rd party cookies -- only reasonable as a security measure, don't you think?
Autologin uses 3rd part cookies to log you in on other projects.
May I suggest than an alternative be found? Surely, I am not the only concerned about the plethora of 3rd party cookies out there and therefore choose to reject them? Thanks :-)
There is no other way to do it than with 3rd party cookies. The problem is that wikipedia is on a different domain than commons. If you use the secure server for example, where all wikis are on the same domain you don't need to accept 3rd party cookies.
Please advise how to "switch on" multi-wikiproject login on secure server. I can sign in OK, but only to Wikipedia. It does not give the "you have been signed in to all wikimedie projects" icon that it does without secure server...Thanks!
It does not give you the notice, but you are auto logged in anyway, check for example http://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/wiki/
Sorry, doesn't work. Same as with unsecure server: I go from logged-in Wikipedia via on-page (in-article) link to Commons, to logged-out state in Commons...
