Author: guanaco

Description:
Redirects that point to pages like [[Special:Userlogout]] will log the user out.
This has been used to vandalize user pages by Michael and/or Mike Church. A
"confirm" button could be added to the logout page to prevent this from working.

JeLuf just made redirects to [[Special:Userlogin]] impossible. As far as I'm
aware, he also put the change live already.

This doesn't stop all possibilities; [[Special:Userlogout/Yomomma]] works for instance. Re-opening.

Fixed in HEAD with Article.php 1.224
