When a sitelink is already in use, action=editentity gives a nice
machine-readable error message like:
"messages": {
"0": {
"name": "wikibase-error-sitelink-already-used",
"type": "error",
"parameters": [
"http://en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Main_Page";,
"Main Page",
"Q33",
"enwikivoyage"
]
},
on the other hand, no-external-page (can test with a non-existent page) gives:
{
"servedby": "mw1208",
"error": {
"code": "no-external-page",
"info": "The external client site did not provide page information for
site 'enwikivoyage' and title 'Main Pageddd'"
}
}
It would be nice if we got the same level of detail for all errors.
