Articles getting stuck in stage Accepted
Describe the bug When an article is accepted, several events are triggered behind the scenes such as depositing the article with Crossref and moving the article to the next workflow element. If an error happens during these events, there are a few side effects that we'd like to avoid and help users recover from.
A server error is raised, rather than a custom message, so the user has to click Back to get to a page they can take any further actions. The article is also moved into the Accepted stage, which typically is only a pass-through stage on the way to Copyediting, so it isn't very well handled for articles that get stuck there. If the user clicks Back to the article page, there are no actions they can take:

Articles with stage Accepted also don't appear in the Review list page:
