Admin: MediaWiki login
Closed this issue · 1 comments
Administrators should be able to log into MediaWiki from anywhere in the Scripto interface.
One option is to provide a "login" link to a central login page on every Scripto page, which, after a successful login, redirects to the originating page with a "login successful" message. The "login" link would change to a "logout" link.
@kimisgold Is there a place we can add a "login" link on every page? Do you have other ideas?
Re: eb3de44:
Chrome currently auto-populates the login form with my login credentials. As a result, whenever I navigated away from the page, the view would ask me if I wanted to abandon my changes to a form I might not have seen if I hadn't opened the login sidebar.
I recreated the sidebar as a persistent header bar so that the user can always see their logged-in status. That way they never miss the form, and it's a more familiar login design pattern.
We should probably allow users to leave the form unprompted, though.
