Unified login
adminhelp I have unified my login. I was under the impression that once I login to one wiki site I would automatically be logged into all other wiki sites. The Special:MergeAccount feature indicates that my login was successful and indeed unified for all the supported wiki sites. However, I'm having to actually login to each site. I'm using Windows Vista Home Premium SP1 and Internet Explorer 8.

 * Unified login means you have an account with shared preferences across all WMF sites. Depending on how well it decides to work, it may or may not keep you logged in when you switch between sites. I'm using XP and Firefox 3, for example, and I remain logged in. Internet Explorer may handle the authentication differently, and so not remain logged in.
 * For future reference, adminhelp is intended only for when you need assistance with something relating to the administrator tools, i.e., blocking, protection, deletions, etc. For most requests, helpme will do. Anyway, I hope this helped some. Welcome to Wikipedia! Hers fold  (t/a/c) 03:52, 27 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Thank you for your prompt reply. Since my question had to do with website login, I thought it best to use adminhelp. Thanks for the clarification. The world of Wiki is all new to me!--Techjourney (talk) 04:14, 27 March 2009 (UTC)

Is anyone using Vista Home Premium SP1 and Internet Explorer 8 able to use the unified login method and not have to log into each wiki site. (See my first post) --Techjourney (talk) 04:35, 27 March 2009 (UTC)
 * A relatively small number of people answer these questions. Your question would be better suited to this noticeboard or by logging onto irc.freenode.net and joining the channel #wikimedia-tech. Cheers. // roux   04:41, 27 March 2009 (UTC)
