Description

I clicked on the "Delete" button in the challenge and it deleted the challenge without asking again. For a large operation like this, I would expect an "Are you sure?" question.

Strangely the challenge was still there, there was only a small popup showing that I deleted it, but in the list it was still there. When I clicked on the challenge, which normally gives me the task list, I got an error page. The error page showed me as the anonymous user, so I had to go back to the Maproulette main page to get maproulette to know my user again before continuing.

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by reproducing challenge deletion and the subsequent challenge-list and error-page behavior, then trace the relevant backend request flow; done means deletion requires confirmation, the challenge state is consistent, and the user session remains recognized.
