Description

Added in #35658.

Working through translations with @petya, the error messages we added are hard to translate and unclear in English as well. These should be clarified for both English users and to ease translation. The different errors should have different codes as well.

Just to clarify, we were looking at these strings:

Detailed translator comments for these strings can also help non-developer translators understand and localize them better.

Rather than WP_Errors, these should probably also be _doing_it_wrong errors, as they're compile-time, not runtime. Right now, it's easy to ignore the returned value too. I'd be happy with a _doing_it_wrong(...); return false;

Thanks for the patches @vishalkakadiya and thanks for the ticket @rmccue and @petya! Based on the direction #35658 is going, there's a chance we won't be using error messages at all. That will need to be resolved first before we tackle this one. :)
