Login required for viewing wiki pages?

Posted under General

Hi, I've been lurking around for a few years now and this is my first forum post. I apologize if this is in the wrong section.

Anyway, the recent upgrade to danbo2 has been very rough and so I stopped using danbo for a few months until recently.

I noticed that viewing wiki pages by clicking the "?" link next to the tag now requires me to be logged in, unlike before the upgrade. May I ask what the reasoning behind this change is?

Another thing that makes me wonder is the "?" link requires me to be logged in but the page it takes me to does not. Try following these links when you're not logged in.

this is the ? link: show_or_new

this is the wiki page it goes to: wiki #10

this is the on-tag wiki page (accessible by clicking the "wiki" link in a tag's page): http://danbooru.donmai.us/posts?tags=original#wiki-except

This does not make sense to me. I'm required to login to follow the link, but I'm not required to log in to view the wiki page. Weird.

I don't know for sure but can this be considered a bug? It seems the algorithm goes like this when you click the "?" link:

  • check if logged in
    • if not logged in, go to login page.
    • if logged in, proceed to next step.
  • check if 'show' or 'new
    • if 'show', then redirect to wiki page.
    • if 'new', then redirect to new wiki page.

Shouldn't it be like this?

  • check if 'show' or 'new'
    • if 'show', then redirect to wiki page.
    • if 'new', check if logged in.
      • if not logged in, redirect to login page.
      • if logged in, redirect to new wiki page.

Again, I apologize if this has already been discussed before. I tried searching for the topic but it seems no one is complaining. It's really not much of a problem, but I use a shared computer so my danbo account is not constantly logged in.
