Those cookies look right. The key ones are the centralauth_* on wikipedia.org, which are used to log you in. At the point you visit fr.wikipedia, those are used to create the frwiki cookies. There's nothing different between frwiki and dewiki for that. Same code and here they are even using the same cookie. I don't know what is going on. Maybe you can get a sysadmin to trace it at the server side. At least it's reproducible My only ideas are that you have somehow your browser configured not to send any cookie to de.wikipedia (some privacy extension maybe) or that you are proxied when accesing dewiki. Does it also happen if you make up a random page title? Have you tried using a different browser? _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
