I mean, it says everything in the comment. Let's say a user has two tabs open,
their watchlist and their preferences page. However, they have been logged out
because of the session expiry. So when they open their browser,
Special:Watchlist and Special:Preferences redirect them to the login page. The
user logs in in just one of those pages, such that they can then just refresh
all the other pages and have them auto-return to where they intended to go to.
