the IP instead of the user name.)
While I'm thinking about it: why doesn't universal login work from secure?
After all, the centralauth credentials seem to exist, so the various *wiki
sites should be able to find them automatically?
For example, I've logged into enwiki via secure, that I get to from the
usual insecure login page:
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:UserLogin&returnto=Sp…
goes to (sadly dropping the watchlist link)
https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Special:UserLogin
But the link from
https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Special:MergeAccount
to meta
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Unified_login
doesn't use https and/or show me logged in! :-(
Contrarily, the interwiki links from Main_Page at the bottom work fine, but
the language links on the left side do not....
Looking at the source, it seems somebody went through some template hoops to
make the secure links. But the <prefix><colon> system should just work!
