Created attachment 10443 [details]
Screenshot of error message encountered.

Currently when session data is lost, WikiLove presents an error message to the user which reads "invalid token". 

This is apparently the same error as "invalid session data", which in normal contexts prompts users to log in again. 

Please alter the error text from "invalid token" to something very similar to the regular system error, especially one that instructs the user what action to take to correct the problem. The current message is cryptic and not actionable. 

Thank you!
