Description Nemo 2014-11-01 07:23:18 UTC
0) Set $wgMFAnonymousEditing = true;
1) Visit a random page on http://it.m.wikipedia.org, using the "random" button, as unregistered user
2) Click one of the unlocked pencil icons

I. Observed the pre-pre-screen (bug 72852) is shown but I have no option to proceed without logging in.

3) Purge the page with action=purge

II. Observed: now it works.

I think this is a cache problem (action=purge helps -> cache problem). I think we have to wait for bug 72856 to be resolved.
Comment 3 Nemo 2014-11-01 15:37:29 UTC
This the report about the problem in general, bug 72856 is the report about the same problem on it.wiki only.
Comment 4 Jon 2014-11-05 02:03:20 UTC
I'm confused what is the bug here? Isn't this the correct behaviour or are you saying the purge action wasn't doing that? Anonymous editing changes the HTML markup so it will need a cache purge.
Comment 5 Nemo 2014-11-05 06:34:03 UTC
(In reply to Jon from comment #4)
> Anonymous editing changes the
> HTML markup

So that's the bug (from my point of view).
Comment 6 Jon 2014-11-06 22:30:24 UTC
Nothing actionable here. Sometimes HTML changes are needed. Usually when we make HTML changes we are careful to add JavaScript to get round caching problems. Since problem is solved for it.wiki there is no bug here. (FYI if you want to do this on any other wikis in future please let me know - we could have completely avoided the cache flush on it wiki with some Common.js).
