When you try to register a blacklisted name, the user is told the name is not available. The name may be reserved or it may really be taken. The builder is not available, and I think that is good enough. I assume a builder can be building, it could be idle, it could also be not available for some reason, such as for maintenance and infrastructure reasons. In summary do not hide it, do not say it is idle. do not say it is doing something secret. Just say it is not available. > I think this exception is created by the fact that the page itself is not the > view of any specific object which displays links to related objects.
