Description Michael M. 2014-10-17 07:53:47 UTC
Every page of action=help (e.g. https://www.mediawiki.org/w/api.php) makes calls to lots of Special:CentralAuthLogin on different wikis, and shows a message:

Central login
You are centrally logged in as <User>. Reload the page to apply your user settings.

And if you reload the page or load any other action=help page, just the same happens.

This is probably due to the fact that action=help treats you as logged-out, while CentralAuth has cookies to detect you should be logged in.

I keep getting the message "Central login
You are centrally logged in as (...). Reload the page to apply your user settings."
on the new format of this page:
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&meta=siteinfo&siprop=statistics
