--- Comment #6 from Chris Steipp <[email protected]> ---
This will happen with global accounts, due to to test.wikipedia.org being in a
different data center.

Basically, CentralAuth will set a cookie (centralauth_Session) on login for
.wikipedia.org. The content of the cookie is a pointer into memcached which
holds the user's sessoin information. Since we don't have memcached replicated
beteween datacenters, when you login to one, it will overwrite the cookie with
the new session, but the other datacenter can't access the session information,
so it treats you as a logged-out user.

The fix for this is to update CentralAuth to use Redis instead of memcached.
