            Bug ID: 64568
           Summary: Flow: moderation action when already moderated gives
                    misleading Insufficient permissions error
           Product: MediaWiki extensions
           Version: master
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Unprioritized
         Component: Flow
          Assignee: [email protected]

During the mw:Talk:Sandbox spam attack, multiple people were deleting topics.
When I attempted to delete something already deleted (workflow
rtqjfw4o2m1tfpxe), after explaining why and clicking [Delete] in the dialog I
got the error box

  "An error occurred.
  The error message received was: Insufficient permissions to execute this
action."

The API request returns

  {"flow":{"moderate-topic":{
    "status":"error",
    "result":{"topic":{"permissions":{"message":"Insufficient permissions to
execute this action.","extra":null}}}
}}}

It would be better to detect "Already moderated" or "Moderation state changed,
reload!" or at least report the current moderation status in the error state

In case there's something additional in a server log, this happened around
