Description Niri 2010-11-17 10:38:47 UTC
Steps:

1. Log-out of Wikipedia
2. Go to any article's Edit page (For ex: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Jackie_(2010_film)&action=edit )
3. Click ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:UserLogin ) link from the 1st line of Infobox text ( You are not currently logged in. )
4. Provide valid user-name and password and click Login
5. Observe the 'return to' URL in the last line "Return to Main Page" (redirects to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page )

Actual result:
Redirects to Wikipedia's main page

Expected result:
Should redirect to the page the user was previously accessing, i.e., http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Jackie_(2010_film)&action=edit

This is something the Wikipedians did themselves ( [[MediaWiki:Anoneditwarning]] ), so not really a mediawiki issue...

On the other hand, we should maybe include the proper link to the log in page in the default anoneditwarning message (and ditto for [[mediawiki:anonpreviewwarning]]).
Comment 2 Roan Kattouw 2010-11-28 15:21:49 UTC
The proper link can't be generated with wikitext alone (the &returnto parameter can be, but &returntoquery can't), so I guess we should introduce a {{LOGINLINK}} magic word or something.
Comment 3 Mark A. Hershberger 2011-02-08 21:10:09 UTC
See bug #27264
Comment 4 Bawolff (Brian Wolff) 2014-04-10 19:52:01 UTC
I disagree with wontfix-ing this. I see no reason to not pass a login link to those messages via a $1
