Surely there must be a better way to do this, not just for Wikipedia but for all websites with optional logins. It seems like the only difference in the vast majority of cases is to change a single link in the corner of the page from "login" to "the name of my account", which is a silly reason to miss the cache.

this is literally the goal of 20 year old AJAX patterns. progressively enhanced html with javascript on top. absolutely a solvable problem. perhaps wikipedia could look into using Astro or SvelteKit.
