Bug ID: 72387
Summary: "createaccount" action failure should return the name
of the extension that caused it to fail.
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: API
Assignee: [email protected]

Mobile Platform: ---
In our Android app, we allow the user to create an account, and if the API
rejects the account creation request, we would like to tell the user exactly
why it was rejected.
When the createaccount action fails because of an extension, we get back a
"code" of "createaccount-hook-aborted", which is not specific enough for us to
understand what the exact error is.
We do see the "info" text, which is HTML, but we don't want to display it as-is
inside the app, for various reasons (e.g. localization).
Ideally the API should tell us which extension was responsible for rejecting
the request, so that we may decide how to present the corresponding error to
the user.
