It seems like this error occured due to an old version of the page (before login) being cached. Still, an error message explaining the problem rather than silently jumping to the front page of the wiki would have been nice. The bug is that you always seem to be logged out on http (non-secure) pages. When you click Edit, your're taken to https and logged in. But when you go back to original http page again, you're logged out again, and clicking Edit restarts the vicious circle. If you log in via "Log in" link, then you just lose the #Bug_Reporting_References part of the URL, but you at least end up on the same wiki page, but this time with https and being logged in. See also bug 411348. Are you still seeing this? -M. On the http page from comment 0, the Edit tab now links to https://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php?title=Special:Userlogin&returnto=Bug%20Reporting%20FAQ The first time I clicked that link, I was taken to https://dev.eclipse.org/site_login/ (like it usually happens the first time I try to log in on a new day). Eventually, the "Continue" button returned me to https://wiki.eclipse.org/Bug_Reporting_FAQ (i.e. *not* the Edit page). Now that I seem to be logged in, the Edit tab on a http page takes me to https://wiki.eclipse.org/Bug_Reporting_FAQ : I'm logged in now, but I didn't land on the Edit page, and the Edit tab is now at a different position: http : Page, Discussion, View source, History, *Edit* https: Page, Discussion, *Edit*, History, Move, Unwatch => Edit doesn't forward to front page any more, but it still doesn't work on http page. To fix this bug, I think you can just append "&returntoquery=action%3Dedit" to the Edit button URL on http pages, e.g.: https://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php?title=Special:Userlogin&returnto=Bug%20Reporting%20FAQ&returntoquery=action%3Dedit Ok I've appended the returnto query details to the edit link on HTTP pages. -M. (In reply to Eclipse Webmaster from comment #5) > Ok I've appended the returnto query details to the edit link on HTTP pages. > > -M. Still not working for me: 1. open fresh IE (10 in my case) 2. go to wiki.eclipse.org/JDT_Core/Java7 3. click 'Edit' (NOTE: the button is at the rightmost position) ==> log in page appears 4. log in 5. click 'Continue >' ==> redirected to https://wiki.eclipse.org/JDT_Core/Java7 on 'Page' and buttons are reordered. I still can't edit unless I click 'Edit' again. We just updated the wiki so now the edit button will only appear if you are actually logged in(and can therefore edit). -M. |
