wikitech: Tell people to log out and in again?
Closed, ResolvedPublic
Actions

Description

New users are still confused by the weird loss-of-state that wikitech suffers. We've tried and failed to properly detect this problem and force a logout... maybe we should just add a site banner that says "Does this seem broken? Try logging out and in again"
