Description

It is not possible to set a custom error message for a filter that disallow actions, this only exists for warnings.

The current workaround is to set a filter to both warn and disallow, and set a custom message for the warning. This will only show the right message the first time, and a generic one on repeat attempts.

Does not this duplicate T27086 or T41915 (both with Patch-For-Review )?

Yeah, it does… thanks for spotting, I didn't find them. I'll see what the differences are and sort out the tasks and patches.
