Summary: Prototype.wikimedia.org should not tell you it could
be a phishing site :)
Product: Wikimedia
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Normal
Component: Prototype server
AssignedTo: roan.katt...@gmail.com
ReportedBy: thor.malmjurs...@yahoo.co.uk
Hi. I just thought I'd leave this for you, It's not a bug per se, more a
comment about the way the prototype is set up. I was curious seeing the site
keep popping up while logging in at enwp and went to look. I tried to login
there, and got told in no uncertain terms
"You are viewing this page on prototype.wikimedia.org, which might be a proxy
or phishing site. This site can intercept your password; you are strongly
advised to log in from en.wikipedia.org."
Prototype or not, that is not a great message to be sending out from a wiki
(even though it's not a real one) hosted on a WMF server :)
People seeing that might get the wrong idea and shy away, and that wouldn't be
a good thing in my opinion, especially when the site is associated to the
Usability Initiative.
Just my 2ยข worth.
