I've noticed that my wiki is asking Users to
login to upload a file when
that user is already logged in. This is triggered when a logged in User
adds a wikilink to an image such as [ [image:billy-bob.jpg]] to a page
prior
to the image being uploaded, page is saved, and image link is clicked to
upload the file. At this point, the File Upload page appears and the
User
is logged out.
What version of MediaWiki are you running?
Version 1.16.0
Is the user actually logged out,
or is there just something that makes it look that way?
I don't think the user is actually logged out as far as I can tell. When I
get to the Not logged In page, I can click on a left nav link back to the
Main page and I appear logged in again.
Does the user stay
logged out if they continue doing other things on the
wiki instead of
following whatever this is?
No, I don't believe so.
Has the user interface been customized; might a
login link be some custom addition by one of your wiki's admin users?
Possibly, I'm investigating this now.
Does
this happen when following the 'Upload' link on the sidebar as well?
No, it does not, but I think our URL rewrite rules may have something to do
with this issue. A link from a File mediawiki link looks like this:
http://elinux.org/index.php?title=Special:Upload&wpDestFile=Android_tes…
Does that URL look ok?
NOTE: You can see this test at the bottom of the page here:
http://elinux.org/Sandbox
<http://elinux.org/Sandbox>
Is
there anything about the authentication or session configuration that might
be unusual?
No, the authentication and session configuration are stock.
Are there any extensions or customized code?
The extensions installed can be seen here:
http://elinux.org/Special:Version but I don't suspect any of them yet.
Is this a
publicly-accessible site that other people could test on to help diagnose
the problem, and if so what's the URL to the site?
Yes,
http://elinux.org/Main_Page
<http://elinux.org/Main_Page>
