Users reported that logging in via the wiki (to edit a page) throws them back to the forums, losing where they were and annoying them.

This is a good change as long as phpBB allows redirecting to pages outside of main forum installation. I know they made it so you couldn't several years ago, but maybe it allows it in the latest version?

I'm one of the developers on https://www.sabre-roads.org.uk/ and it definitely works there as I've tried it!

I wrote a sawn-off (some might say notorious as it broke with pretty much every upgrade) custom phpBB / MediaWiki bridge about nine years ago (which I've replaced with this extension) and I'm pretty certain you could redirect outside of phpBB space then. Earliest log I can find from me is https://www.sabre-roads.org.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=22940 That was on 3.0.6, so maybe 2.x didn't allow it.
