The expectation for single sign-on is that you sign-on a single time and then you are signed on everywhere. If that's not what happens, feel free to file a bug, ideally with a HAR file or something equivalent. (I think there is one scenario when you need to login manually: when visiting a wiki that's not included in the autologin domains while being logged out, then logging in elsewhere, then visiting it again. The "user is logged out" cookie gets set on the first visit, so on the second one no autologin is attempted. But that should be very rare as Meta, Commons, and all the not *.wikimedia.org wikis are autologin domains, so this can only happen on exotic projects like outreach.wikimedia.org.) _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
