Problem logging in to wiki

[Little Girl]

Hey there,

This is an old message, but it still applies, so I thought I'd
resurrect it:

This is still default behavior. To fix it:

1. Log in (you'll be taken to https://help.ubuntu.com/community).
2. Click the User Preferences link in the upper right corner of the
page.
3. Look in the General Options section.
4. Tick the box for, "After login, jump to last visited page."
5. Click the Save button.
6. Log out.

From then on, when you're browsing wiki pages and want to
edit one, you'll be returned to that page automatically after logging
in.
