Creating an account that matches a blacklist rule should return a more friendly, specific error message that specifies both the rule and the reason why the rule exists. Ideally it would also contain a simple false positive reporting system, similar to Upload Wizard. We should likely make this change as part of shifting to a global blacklisting system (see bug 36939).
Adding dependency. The requirements set in comment 0 are quite high, but I hope it wouldn't be too hard to: * always provide a system message which mentions the title blacklist and its relevant rule rather than give a generic "permission error" (see bug 42316 comment 4) or just silently fail; * link the sources for the blacklist defined in $wgTitleBlacklistSources, if of type local page or URL, so that the user knows where to check. For Wikimedia projects and most MediaWiki users, this would at least allow to go to a wiki page whose talk can be used for reports etc. The currently handled cases are as follows: 'titleblacklist-forbidden-edit' => 'The title "$2" has been banned from creation. It matches the following blacklist entry: <code>$1</code>', 'titleblacklist-forbidden-move' => '"$2" cannot be moved to "$3", because the title "$3" has been banned from creation. It matches the following blacklist entry: <code>$1</code>', 'titleblacklist-forbidden-upload' => 'The file name "$2" has been banned from creation. It matches the following blacklist entry: <code>$1</code>', 'titleblacklist-forbidden-new-account' => 'The user name "$2" has been banned from creation. It matches the following blacklist entry: <code>$1</code>',

See this default message: > https://es.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Http://www.google.com&action=edit&uselang=en I know what the default message is, I mean that the errmsg should be wrapped in a titleblacklist error message which explains where it comes from.
