            Bug ID: 68767
           Summary: AbuseFilter should display a more useful message
                    instead of "An unknown error occurred."
           Product: MediaWiki extensions
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Keywords: easy, javascript
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Unprioritized
         Component: AbuseFilter

If I try to calculate the result of applying ccnorm to a long string (e.g. 9000
x 'a', or a typical value of the added_lines variable), I get the message "An
unknown error occurred." but there is more information in the console:

"mw.Api error: " "http" Object { xhr: Object, textStatus: "error", exception:
"Request-URI Too Large" }

My suggestion is to provide a more informative message for the user in this
case.
