Users should be returned to their previous page after login
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Copying @Ocaasi_WMF bug report verbatim:

  1. I click the link from Wikipedia: https://wikipedialibrary.wmflabs.org/partners/16/
  1. It gives me an adorable Permission Denied page with a hamster!
  1. Telling me to log in, I do so in the header. It sends me back to Wikipedia where I give OAuth permission.
  1. That sends me back to the Library Card login where I select my language from the dropdown.
  1. That sends me to my user profile.

There are obviously several things we can streamline here, but the minimum-viable outcome should be that after logging in I am returned back to the McFarland signup page. Extra clicks are not a huge annoyance unless they don't lead to completion.

Let's put a pin in this until after global user id migration

This should be totally resolved on staging. Please verify.

This is subtly different than T163670, BTW. This can be tested by clicking the login link on any page on staging, and verifying that you come back to the same page after authentication.
