Hello WLManiacs,

I happily present one more usability improvement that was developed (by
Mark Traceur) after our last year's UpWizard bug list:

Problem:
* User clicks a hyperlink to an Upload Wizard campaign (which is sth.
with parameters etc.) somewhere on a project page, a list etc.
* User is not logged in or does not even have an account
* Result: gets the "please log in or create an account to upload an
image" message.
* User creates an account or logs in
* User is redirected to MainPage.
* User is lost.

Solution:
* A "returntoquery" parameter was added. After clicking a link to a
campaign and being forced to log in/account creation, the user should be
redirected to the full campaign url.

I sacrificed one test sockpuppet and created a new account and it seems
to work for me. However, you can test it with logging out and in again ;-)

Please test it as intense as you can, as this is an important usability
step. Especially I'd like to know if the recently added "field
prefilling/parameter passing" works with this (would be necessary, I
tried and failed once).

Please add your comments for improvement under

Thank you!
