TASK DESCRIPTION WCQS's authentication method has created a serious usability issue. I frequently run into this error: > Application Connection Error > This request has already been completed and cannot be resubmitted. Go back to the application and try to connect your account again, or contact the application author. > > OAuth token already used, E009 > > Return to Main Page. https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:OAuth/Errors#E009 This happens usually when I reload a closed browser tab with a WCQS query. What is frustrating about this is (1) I am not logged out of WCQS. I can navigate to WCQS in a new tab and run a query without re-authenticating in OAuth. (2) The way the error is handled makes it impossible to recover the query I was running, which is annoying, since WCQS does not allow you to save queries like Quarry. The query code is in the URL, but the error page itself does not allow you to reauthenticate, and the link in the error will only return you to the Commons main page, not even WCQS. As an example, when I get the error, I am redirected to a URL like this: `https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:OAuth/authenticate?oauth_token=3bd745b02f379a07ccf0df9cc685b3c0#SELECT%20%3Fdpla%20%3Fid%20%3Fdate_modified%20WHERE%20%7B%0A%20%20%3Fdpla%20wdt%3AP760%20%3Fid%3B%0A%20%20%20%20schema%3AdateModified%20%3Fdate_modified%20.%0A%20%20BIND%20%28now%28%29%20-%20%3Fdate_modified%20as%20%3Fdate_range%29%0A%20%20FILTER%20%28%3Fdate_range%20%3E%20100%29%0A%7D%20ORDER%20BY%20ASC%28%3Fdate_modified%29` If I simply replace the first part of the URL (everything before the `#`) with `https://commons-query.wikimedia.org/` and load that URL, it works as expected, without any actual issue with the authentication. Of course, no user would know to do that, so this is quite a frustrating occurrence, and the error message here seems like it is not serving whatever intended purpose it was designed for, if it can be circumvented in that way.
