Bug #: 33135
Summary: Viewing a restricted page/form doesn't ask the user to
log in
Product: MediaWiki
Version: 1.17.0
Platform: PC
OS/Version: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: Page protection
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
(This is a refiling of https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=33132
The developer there said that the relevant message was hard-coded into
MediaWiki, so that I should post here.)
When someone who isn't logged in goes to edit a page on our wiki, they see
this:
> You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:
> * The action you have requested is limited to users in the group: Users.
> * You do not have permission to edit pages in the Page namespace.
This default text isn't perfect for all situations, because when a user clicks
the "submit a bug" button on our wiki, they are taken to a Special:FormEdit
page (which is used as part of a SMW extension.) If they are not logged in,
then they see this text:
> You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reason:
> The action you have requested is limited to users in the group: Users.
It would be nice if a there was text and a link that invited the user to log in
or sign up for an account, or a redirect to the login page, especially if that
page is editable by a normal user.
Thanks!
