Description spage 2014-04-28 20:20:51 UTC
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 20140428T13:13
