Summary: Session failure warning message gives bad advice
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Normal
Component: General/Unknown
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
The default sessionfailure message reads:
'There seems to be a problem with your login session;
this action has been canceled as a precaution against session hijacking.
Please hit "back" and reload the page you came from, then try again.',
This is not a super great suggestion -- hitting 'back' and/or reloading will in
some browsers lose your form state, so you've now lost all your work and have
to start over.
In most cases, the correct fix is actually to more like *hit the submit button
again*, since the rest of your form state will be preserved... possibly going
to login and preview beforehand, though.
Generally this kind of sucks.
