To enhance the login page I have following proposal which modifies the 'addReturnTo' function, so that modern browsers (like e.g. Opera) hold a 'next' link ready to make it easier for the user to go back to the page where they were before login.

The file is '/var/lib/mediawiki/includes/OutputPage.php' the line numbers were taken from Debian's actual mediawiki version (1.12.0-2lenny1), the modifications are lines 1171-1180 which replace the now commented out line number 1181.

1169         public function addReturnTo( $title ) {
1170                 global $wgUser;
1171                 $link= $wgUser->getSkin()->makeLinkObj( $title );
1172
1173                 // create a 'next' link for modern browsers
1174                 $link_next = ereg_replace( '<a href="(.*)" .*', '\\1', $link );
1175                 $this->addLink(
1176                                 array(
1177                                         'rel'   => 'next',
1178                                         'href'  => $link_next ) );
1179
1180                 $link = wfMsg( 'returnto', $link );
1181                 # $link = wfMsg( 'returnto', $wgUser->getSkin()->makeLinkObj( $title ) );
1182                 $this->addHtml( "<p>{$link}</p>\n" );
1183         }
