If possible (I'm not sure it is), you may want to have the two wikis use the same User table. This, of course, may conflict with your intentions would be a bit "hacky" to implement.
Of course, even if you got it to work, I'm not sure how well it would work (depending on how much is stored in the User table).
Are there any mechanisms for sharing tables in MediaWiki?

Hi.
I've looked for an answer to this in the FAQ and also in the archives of the mailing list.
I run a mediawiki wiki, and allow my browser to accept cookies that store my wiki user name and password. This works fine. However, I recently added a second wiki on the same server and now find that every time I switch from looking at one wiki to another I have to re-login to each wiki.
I had a quick look at my browser's cookies and it seems like the right thing is being done for the name and password cookies (these both contain the wiki name, making them wiki specific). But there is a single PHPSESSID cookie which I guess is the culprit. I.e., if I look at wiki A and then go to wiki B and log in, I get a new PHPSESSID cookie. This, I am guessing, is then invalid when I return to wiki A.
Is that likely to be what's causing my problem? If so, what can I do about it?
