Either of these options should hopefully resolve the problem in this ticket. I'm going to decline it for now in light of that, but if you feel that it is better to keep open as something to track for future WCQS auth work, feel free to reopen. Thanks, and no worries, especially if it becomes obsolete. FWIW, the problem is not so much the need to re-authenticate, but the user flow in this type of situation. Rather than being redirected to an error page on Commons that loses their query and just has a "Return to Main Page" link, the URL to the query they wanted should be preserved for them to retry, or better yet, not redirect them at all, but simply re-trigger the OAuth process. No need to dead-end the user over something that is trivially fixed. Anyway, maybe @EBernhardson's fix will resolve it.
