Description
Request: improve the error message shown on the Category Edit screen when trying to set an already-used slug.
Why:
If I edit a category and try to give it a slug that is already used on another category, I encounter the vague error Category not updated.
This error is not very informative.
By comparison, if I Quick-Edit to make this change, though, I am told: The slug “example-slug” is already in use by another term.
, which is much clearer and I understand the problem right away.
