I've noticed that my wiki is asking Users to login to upload a file when that user is already logged in. This is triggered when a logged in User adds a wikilink to an image such as [ [image:billy-bob.jpg]] to a page prior to the image being uploaded, page is saved, and image link is clicked to upload the file. At this point, the File Upload page appears and the User is logged out.
What version of MediaWiki are you running? Is the user actually logged out, or is there just something that makes it look that way? Does the user stay logged out if they continue doing other things on the wiki instead of following whatever this is? Has the user interface been customized; might a login link be some custom addition by one of your wiki's admin users? Does this happen when following the 'Upload' link on the sidebar as well? Is there anything about the authentication or session configuration that might be unusual? Are there any extensions or customized code? Is this a publicly-accessible site that other people could test on to help diagnose the problem, and if so what's the URL to the site?
