The gadget for rapid grants seems to fail
Closed, InvalidPublic

Description

Given that I open the rapid grant from this page
And fill in the provided fields
When I reach the final page
Then I expect the necessary pages to be created

What happen is that the page is stuck after final page

The response from the server is

{"servedby":"mw1189","error":{"code":"badtoken","info":"Invalid token","*":"See https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/api.php for API usage"}}

I will try a third time after a forced reload.

Event Timeline

After a forced reload the page worked. The gadget should probably be changed so errors can be properly handled, and in this case the code should be extended so new tokens can be requested if they are outdated. Forced reload will destroy whatever the user has entered, and this gives a very bad user experience…

That darn pesky code! Everything would work without it! =D (Quote from a Wikipedia-editor)

After a forced reload the page worked.

@jeblad: This task reminds me of T185096: Gadget on IdeaLab to create new idea fails. Maybe close as invalid too? :-/

The gadget is flaky, but this report is outdated.
