--- Comment #9 from Steven Walling <[email protected]> --- There are only two kinds of users who view the form already logged in: * Those who know they are logged in, and intend to create another account. * Those who are not aware they are logged in successfully. For the first, they do not need a special button on login. These users are advanced enough to be able to find Special:CreateAccount aka Special:UserLogin/signup. For the second type of user, it is entirely possible they will be thoroughly confused by being presented with a signup button to create another account. They may not even realize they are logged in, and think that the button is prompting them to create another account because the previous attempt failed. Even with the appropriate text, e.g. "Create another account", it is very very unusual behavior to encourage new users to create secondary accounts for a website. This defies any normal mental model of when and why we would present account creation calls to action. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
