Thanks Chris for this comment. So that leaves us with option 1) - a javascript banner. I think that shouldn't be too hard to implement. A <div> which hovers over the Wiki page, the text, two buttons [accept] / [leave]. Accept points to Special:Userlogin, leave just closes the banner. A javascript that shows this <div> onclick() on the Login link, if no cookie has already been set by the Wiki. Maybe even a LocalSettings.php variable $wgApproveCookies = true; that is true by default and allows admins of internal company wikis etc. to disable that banner. As an option we could even add another setting $wgApproveCookiesAlways, which makes the same <div> to show up as soon as a user enters the wiki. That way we can support admins that have further extensions installed in their wiki which add cookies right away - like Google Analytics. /Manuel -- Wikimedia CH - Verein zur Förderung Freien Wissens Lausanne, +41 (21) 34066-22 - www.wikimedia.ch _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
