Description Guttorm Flatabø 2012-02-03 11:18:01 UTC
The login-progress messages states: "Logging you in to wikis of {{int:Centralauth-groupname}}:"

Usually though, the logging in will be done in a blink, and as I understand it, you'll usually see the icons of sites that you have already been logged into.

It would thus make the message much more sensible if it was in past tense:

"You have also been logged in to the following {{int:Centralauth-groupname}} wikis:"

Sometimes the icons take a bit to load, though.  In those cases, present tense makes sense.

Present tense makes sense when the first wiki (/icon) is loading, present and past makes equally much sense when one has been loaded and one is loading, while thereafter past tense makes more sense, in my opinion.

Per comment 1, WONTFIX. Past tense would suggest that login is already complete, but if you close/exit the page before all the images are loaded you won't actually be logged in on all wikis, and your editing experience will be disrupted.
