Redirect to previous page when login on the website

Brief summary of issue / Description of requested feature:

When one logs in the website with his account name and password, he is redirected to the home page. It would make more sense to redirect him to the page on which he was before pressing the login link, as he might be prevented from accessing this page without login in.

Steps to reproduce the issue / Reasons for adding feature:

1. It is probably quite easy to do.
2. I don’t suppose it would annoy other game developers/current players.
3. If the redirect page can be set in the settings (I believe so), perhaps a special symbol, like :back (that can’t be a proper file name) could be used to indicate redirecting the user to the previous page.

Extra information, such as Evennia revision/repo/branch, operating system and ideas for how to solve / implement:

Django’s docs states that the setting is used when the view gets no next parameter, so it’s ignored when you specify that.

Thanks! I guess in my case what I should do is simply to redirect to the settings.LOGIN_URL with next being the same URL if the user isn’t authenticated, and the wiki page she’s trying to read isn’t public. It might solve my problem. I’ll check!
