Steps to reproduce: 1.Login to support.mozilla.com 2.Click on "How to Contribute" 3.Click on "Writing new Knowledge Base articles" link under "Improve the Knowledge Base" 4.Click "edit" without entering the article name 5.Notice the user message expected result User message requests the user to specify the name of the article which they need to edit. actual result: User message- "Error.Permission denied you cannot edit this page" is displayed. Also,If this user message is retained-its missing a semi-colon/full stop.It should be "Permission denied.You cannot edit this page."
As a contributor, I can edit the page when the title of the page is blank, which is bad. As a user, I can reproduce the reported error. In any case, for both, there should be a message like: "You cannot create a page with an empty title." Suggestions on the user message?

Summary: Consider revising the user message for empty string search to be more specific → Deny editing page and include notification message on empty string
How about "Empty article names are not allowed. Please specify a valid article name" as the user message?
I think it emphasize what to do about the problem. "Please us the Back button in your browser and make sure you have entered an article title."

Well,the behavior seems to be fixed but why should the user message say "Please use the Back button in your browser..." when there is "Go back" link right below the user message? So keeping the bug open.
