[Mediawiki-l] Frequent Logout Issue

[Emufarmers Sangly]

MediaWiki does indeed use some manner of cookies; if it just happened to one
user, it's nothing for you to worry about, and if it just happened once, it
isn't something that should be a problem for her.  If it happens to her
again, or it happens to other people, then you should look into it, but if
it's just a random occurrence, it probably isn't anything to worry about. :)
