::Ah, that's very likely it: I see now that if I'm on an http page and attempt to log in, I get "There seems to be a problem with your login session" and it's still on http (and not logged-in) but _has_ logged me in under https (presumably due to the cookie domain).

When not logged in, each time I reload certain pages (eg DF2014:Quickstart guide) the "Your edit was saved" popup shows, even though I have not edited the page and did not navigate to the page via an edit. I have not so far seen this happen while logged in.

I don't know if it is related, but logging in also seems dodgy: logging in on one tab does not make me logged in in the browser as a whole (ie reloading a tab showing a logged-out page reloads it still logged-out), and I'm getting an awful lot of "There seems to be a problem with your login session; this action has been canceled as a precaution against session hijacking. Please resubmit the form." when trying to log in. I have not encountered this behaviour on other wikimedia sites. Hv (talk) 19:38, 31 October 2020 (UTC)

For the first part: there appears to be a flag (wgPostEdit) saved in the cached version of the page - when you're logged in, you don't see the cached version. Apparently it isn't supposed to be cacheable, so I'm not sure what to do about it. Perhaps a MediaWiki upgrade could help (which I've been meaning to do for a while). Update: purging the page's cache entry seems to have resolved it for this particular page - feel free to try this if you see it occur on other pages.
Thanks, I'll try to remember the Purge if I see this again. Usually I don't bother to log in until I need to edit something, then mostly stay logged in forever.
