Description Purodha Blissenbach 2010-08-02 18:34:50 UTC
In the English Wikipedia, after receiving an e-mail
with a new passwort for a forgotten one, the user
logged in with the automatic new password, was prompted to
set a new password, enteerd on twice, and was logged in.

The login redirected him to the URL:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Login

The page showed (copied and pasted):

No such special page

Comment 1 Platonides 2010-08-02 18:44:50 UTC
The right url is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:UserLogin

I see no way to have been redirected to Special:UserLogin unless he already was in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Login when he clicked the login link.
