When I did my first-ever edit on Wikidata, i.e. on Q13517472, the warning that the edit activated the abuse filter 10 had shown normally.

This probably relates to the recent errorformat changes in Wikibase recently in T242769.
This was deployed with 1.35.0-wmf.21

This still needs the release preparation patch to be merged (https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/wikibase/javascript-api/+/596231), then we can tag it (while doing that, we should also tag the past 3.1.1 release as that was forgotten back then). After that, the subcomponent can be bumped in Wikibase and we should be good here.

I tagged the release now, so we only need to update the submodule in Wikibase now.

Should be possible to verify on Beta now; I’ve set up an AbuseFilter on Beta that mirrors the P​21 one on Wikidata, so if you try to add “sex or gender” (here, P​963) with an invalid value (e. g. Q​6) to an item, you should get an error, and see the detail in the error message.

Tested it on production via the testcases in the description. Duplicate sitelink warning seems fine. However this is quite beautiful 😬

Anything we can do to improve it?

I wanted to translate the warning "The save has failed." but apparently it is ignored by translatewiki (wikibase-api-failed-save), that's probably why everybody can only see it in English. The list of ignored messages is longer and should get some attention.

I filled T257113: Review list of messages marked as ignored for translation for that (as it is, strictly speaking, unrelated to the issues brought up here), so that we can finally close this one.
