Description
This might be a duplicate issue, it's work we talked about originally as a later project.
The idea would be to use the referrer, query param, or cookie to determine where the user was coming from or has logged into in the past. This would allow us to highlight a site log in option for the user, such as highlight the community login link if we can detect that the user is a community user. This would help cut down on users randomly switching platforms.

Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points, and may duplicate earlier work, so first check for the related issue and establish whether referrer, query-parameter, or cookie detection is intended. Done means the website can identify a user's prior platform and highlight the corresponding login option without encouraging random platform switching.
