[Mediawiki-l] MW's system of redirect after login

Here's scenario #1:
  - User sees page
  - Clicks "login"
  - is redirected to the page, where he can edit.
  This is a good, however the following scenario #2 is not good:
  - User sees page
  - Clicks "Edit"
  - Prompted for login, and he logs in
  - But, now loses the link of the page he wanted to edit
   
  This is the problem. Is there any way the original page link can be preserved through all the steps of scenario #2? This is because usually people's first impulse is to hit "Edit". See my point?
