Sorry maybe I did not explain correctly When the users come to the page they are not immediately logged in.

I use this $wgHooks['SkinBuildSidebar'][] = 'lfHideSidebar'; function lfHideSidebar( $skin, &$bar ) { global $wgUser; // Hide sidebar for anonymous users if ( !$wgUser->isLoggedIn() ) { $bar = array( 'navigation' => array( array( 'text' => wfMsg( 'login' ), 'href' => SpecialPage::getTitleFor( 'Login' )->getLocalURL(), 'id' => 'n-login', 'active' => '' ) ) ); } return true; }

And if someone goes to a page before they login and select login they are returned to the home page.

Can I get the returnto, to work with this hook?

Why is it when I add "Special:UserLogin|Login" to the sidebar I get redirected to the main page?

Because you're already logged in, so MediaWiki helpfully skips the login form. This behavior was changed again in https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/161465/ (allowing you to view the form and displaying appropriate message, as seen on Wikimedia wikis), but that patch didn't make the 1.24 release.
