The login intersite mechanism is broken for the last 48 hours.

Hello. Something weird started yesterday. I heavily use the global
watchlist, and open links in many wikis a couple of times every day.
Something that never happened before, and happens dozens of times now, in
about 90% of the cases. If I work with wiki X and open some page on wiki Y,
I find myself logged out there. I can go back to X and press F5, and still
be logged in in X, which is the weird part, because I should be logged out
everywhere simultaneously from any reason. The only thing that helps for Y
is clicking Log in, then the page makes autorefresh to logged in state.
Some more people complained about this. I would create a Phabricator
ticket, but I have no idea how to reproduce this.

Phabricator is the best place for discussing ongoing bugs or breakages,
even if they aren't easily reproducible. Just summarize what you know about
it. Thanks!

Well, usually when I tried this, the bugs were instantly closed because
"they are not reproducible".

Reading all Phabricator tickets you created in the last 12 months at
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/maniphest/query/xC7sY68ExROr/#R , I
found no tickets which got "instantly closed" so I second what Gerg?
replied.

Cheers,
andre

I will not argue and give you links, it can't help. Very well, I'll open a
ticket now.

If the bug is not reproducible or monitorable in some way (which is not the
same thing as you not being able to immediately come up with reproduction
steps), there is not much we can do about it and a mailing list thread
would be "closed" too; so it has no benefits, but it's also less effective
for making sure the right people see the issue, making the discussion
discoverable and cross-referenceable from related discussion, tracking
changes etc.
