Change Details

If a user trips the rate limit for temp account creation (T357777, T342880) for an IP address, we should redirect the user to Special:CreateAccount and provide a UX informing them that they can proceed with their edit if they create an account.

I think for the purposes of task, we should come up with a message that is more relevant to temporary accounts, and provides a link to Special:CreateAccount. ---- ####Acceptance Criteria: Review the current Temp Accounts UX for when the temp account creation rate limit is hit. Provide copy and a design for a message that is relevant for temporary accounts. The message should link to Special:CreateAccount. Create a follow-up engineering task.
