Description mail6543210 2011-06-03 07:59:52 UTC 
I was using http://zh.wikipedia.org/
and log in.

But if I login and click edit on the top-right, the browser ask me to "download" a file called index.php instead of leading me to the editor page.

If I don't login, I can see the editor page.

And the problem only occurs on the top-right "edit", else are OK.

Disable all "Use external editor" options in your preferences and try again.
Comment 2 mail6543210 2011-06-03 08:52:25 UTC 
Yeah! You're right, that's the reason.

But does that option mean? Why is the problem?

See http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:External_editors (Its a problem, because mediawiki tries to start another program to edit the page if option on, which causes your browser to download an ini file if you don't have such a program configured).

We really need to do something about that preference. (I'm marking this a dupe of the other bug just to increase stats of how many people are confused by this)
