--- Comment #6 from Derk-Jan Hartman <[email protected]> ---
The problem here is one of the oldest in MediaWiki linking. You can't use a
local url to create an 'external' link and you can't use an internal link if
you want/need to add query elements:

This is not possible:
[[Special:UserLogin?returnto=anotherpage]]

This would be ideal, but is not possible
[{{localurl:Special:UserLogin|returnto=anotherpage}} linkname]

So we use this:
[{{fullurl:Special:UserLogin|returnto=anotherpage}} linkname]

So yes indeed, we used to have to fragment the cache for exactly this problem
when we used secure.wikimedia.org

I don't think we want to repeat that, but it is something that needs solving in
core in order to sustainably avoid that we redirect users left and right. (Note
that the fullurl links are frequent in many UI messages for instance.

I can't find the ticket for this right now, but I'm sure there is one out there
for this problem.
