I run three wiki sites with the same user table, with fixes from Bug 2396. Information is stored in the same database with table prefixes (different $wgDBprefix) for every wiki. I specified top-level domain in $wgCookieDomain, expecting that logging in to one of wikies will assume logging in to other wikies as well. But $wgDBprefix is used in cookie, making one-login-for-many-wikies impossible, users still need to login on every wiki. Is there any possibility to add shared logins for shared user table wikies? Sorry, cannot make a patch -- I don't know PHP at all.
From the discussion at bug 57 (e.g., bug 57 comment #2), I get the impression that the code exists for this somewhere.
