             Bug #: 39196
           Summary: if user can't edit, report reasons for JS
           Product: MediaWiki extensions
           Version: master
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Unprioritized
         Component: WikidataRepo
        AssignedTo: [email protected]

If a user can't edit an item, the PHP code report the reasons for this to JS,
so a meaningful message can be shown to the user. Examples would be "this page
is protected" or "you are blocked" or "you have to be an admin to edit this".

wgRestrictionsEdit and wgRestrictionsCreate already provide something like
this. Or so it seems from the documentation. 

Find out whether these are sufficient, and if not, what kind of information can
and should be provided, and how. Keep in mind localization, especially wrt user
group names.
