Steps to reproduce:

I was trying to register at https://wiki.mozilla.org/Special:RequestAccount


Actual results:

Got the message:
"Your biography must be at least 15 words long."

There are no field called "biography" so i did not know what field "biography" was refering to.


Expected results:

This my be clear to english users but for me it would be better that the text was changed so it it called the same at the field/textarea it is refering to.

Or maybe change to color on the field so its easier to know which one it is.

I have changed the error message from "Your biography must be at least 15 word long" to "Your Profile justification must be at least 15 words long. Please correct and resubmit."

Have also changed the test adjacent to the appropriate text box from "Be sure to include information that makes it clear why you would like an account on the Mozilla Wiki. For example, mention the projects you are following, working on or would like to." to "Justification: please state clearly below why you need an account on the Mozilla Wiki (at least 15 words)."

I think this should make things more clear.
