Re: [Mediawiki-l] Go directly to Main Page

Heh, interesting "fix". Actually, on that note I have a few thoughts. Firstly, how wide is the browser support for that meta tag for refreshing the page and redirecting it to another url? I don't know, so I don't know if the meta tag, or javascript would be better. (Though you should also consider that some people explicitly disable JS because they don't want automatic redirection, so JS might be better, dunno). Secondly, the logged in successful page is rather small. Has anyone actually thought of instead enabling this as a message in the page above the title (Like Sitenotice, or the (un)watch, or usernotice messages), however that may have light caching issues and could use some sort of disabling variable, or maybe that's best for AJAX. Actually, for that matter, what about AJAX? I'm honestly seeing things like the AJAX Watchlist, new messages inside of Special:Contributions, and other simple things being setup with a nice AJAX method. Why not some form of AJAX login? Or, even if it's not AJAX, a JS login form on the page, one which will actually direct itself directly back to the page and display the login notice there, instead of dedicating a Special page 'stub' to such a pitiful notice. ~Daniel Friesen(Dantman) of: -The Gaiapedia (http://gaia.wikia.com) -Wikia ACG on Wikia.com (http://wikia.com/wiki/Wikia_ACG) -and Wiki-Tools.com (http://wiki-tools.com) Platonides wrote:
