I found the 10 second refresh code (see below), that sends a newly
logged in user to the previous page they were viewing, is being set by
OutputPage.php file in my older wiki versions. When I checked that file
in Mediawiki 1.11.1 the code is not there, thus when you login in
version 1.11.1 you remain at the "Login successful" page and have to
click an available link to go back to the page you were at before
logging in, instead of being sent back to it automatically by the
10-minute delayed refresh.
Anyone know why this feature was taken out of Mediawiki and whether it
is available through a setting somewhere else now? I can't find any
mention of it in the release logs but it seems to have been in mediawiki
up to at least version 1.9.x

James,
the "Login successful" page has a refresh
header in the <head> section:
<meta http-equiv="Refresh"
content="10;url=http://your-wiki.your-site.com/Main_Page" />
so with some patience (10 seconds) your customers
should automatically
be redirected to the Main Page ?!
That's the way previous versions of Mediaiwiki behave, but I'm running
version 1.11.1 and it remains at the "Login successful" page after a
login. When I look at the source of the "Login successful" page I see
no "refresh" statement in the <head> section. Having that feature back
would solve my problem, especially if I could modify the 10 second
delay.
