--- Comment #27 from Jared Zimmerman (WMF) <[email protected]> ---
Thanks everyone for all the lively discussion here. 

The design and product teams did a lot of thinking about the onboarding
experience when it comes to the new login behavior, so the behavior you're
seeing on en.wiki is purposeful, I'm glad we were able to get it implemented,
that said sometimes you can only find problems like the ones above once
something is in the real world with large numbers of people using it. 

My recommendations follow for how to proceed.

New user registration:
Configure welcome echo notification in order to welcome user, and confirm the
account was created successfully so that they aren't confused and try to create
accounts again. 
REQUIRES: echo on more sites, translated echo notifications for new sites

For normal login, users should continue to have the current behavior of being
redirected to the page the login action was started from.

Post account creation: 
We have a Guided New users experience that the Growth team has created, it
represents the first time experience we would like all users to see upon
becoming part of the community, in addition to the welcome echo notification
new users should be sent to the Guided experience. One additional note is that
the echo notification could have a link to go back to the guided experience so
if the users leaves it or just wants to try it again they have an additional
access point.
REQUIRES: guided new user experience on more wikis

Stopgap measure for wikis who do not have Guided Exp, and Echo implemented: 
Until wikis can integrate echo and the guided exp for new users, I would
recommend that they have a minimal but *actionable* New user welcome page. If
we can identify a best in class example from a wiki who has one already it
might be a good pattern to copy.

However I recommend less effort be spent creating this temporary welcome page,
rather, focus efforts on getting echo and getting started implemented, as that
represents the desired user experience for new users.
