Well, that's what I meant. When I'm redirected to some page (like 
`https://www.openstreetmap.org/login?referer=%2Foauth2%2Fauthorize...`) I 
consider that page ***too*** part of the Oauth2 flow (as evidented by string 
_"oauth2"_ inside that referer, indicating it was Oauth2 which sent me there). 

But if you prefer different terminology for URLs which are called by 
`www.openstreetmap.org/oauth2/*` but are not inside that same "directory" (i.e. 
URL prefix), I'll be happy to oblige.

well, I am not the one to call it questionable or not. 🤷  If those are 
unwanted, we could perhaps employ  countermeasures to disallow them? (or at 
least open issues at their issue trackers to explain why we don't want those, 
and what are the acceptable alternatives?)

Anyway, if I've (hopefully) managed to clarify the ambiguity in terminology 
used; what do you think of 
https://github.com/openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website/issues/5490#issuecomment-2602015806
 ?

To me the advantages would be that the users become aware of the blocks more 
often then they do now; are there disadvantages that would outweigh those?
