Bug ID: 50719
Summary: When edit filter blocks article save, editfilter
notice is not displayed
Product: VisualEditor
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: MediaWiki integration
Assignee: [email protected]

Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
When an edit filter is tripped by an article, any warning text isn't displayed
and the user has no clue as to what to fix. Take edit 554 for example, which
prevents editors from linking to music charts from blogspot or other known
garbage charts. When it trips, the edit filter blocks the edit and issues the
warning at
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=MediaWiki:abusefilter-top100
The editor knows exactly what the problem is with his edit.
If he makes the same change using the Visual Editor, the error message he
receives is "The notification you attempted to make was aborted by an extension
hook". I seriously doubt the novice editors this feature is intended for will
have any idea what to do to correct their edit.
A screenshot showing what happens upon saving an article consisting solely of
the phrase "charly1300.com" is at
