Trying to set the management interface to a closed wiki breaks the user session

Description

As part of my wiki configuration spree I configured InternetArchiveBot to support shywiki, a wiki that appears on the site matrix but is still on Incubator. Possibly as a result of this, when I try to select that wiki from the wiki dropdown in the IABot Management Interface, I am greeted with this error:

An error occurred connecting to your account:
Invalid response from token request

Click here to try to login again!!!

This results in the management interface being unusable, and I need to clear my session cookie in order to proceed.

The most left one is the wikipedia link, it's red. In my understanding that doesn't count as showing up, or do I missunderstand you?

Because it was on that very list you screenshotted it showed up in my list.

It shows up on that list, because there is a shywiktionary (https://shy.wiktionary.org/wiki/Asebtar_amenzu).

That is irrelevant to the fact that I mistakenly set up a shywiki configuration profile in InternetArchiveBot, a bot that edits Wikipedia pages, and now InternetArchiveBot's management interface is broken.

Ok, I missunderstood you, sorry.

Something similar happens with ngwiki, another closed wiki. Basically it sends you to the login prompt of that wiki, and you can't log in because it's a closed wiki. And you can't escape this cycle without clearing your session cookie.
