888633 - Improve error message for when Tags input exceed limit and fix link to input

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(developer.mozilla.org Graveyard :: Editing, defect, P5)

Description

[Thierry Régagnon]

What did you do?
================
On the Edit page, if you write too many tags in the Tags input. (this happens easily with translations due to bug 888631) We get a cryptic error message with a broken link.

What happened?
==============
Example error message:
"Ensure this value has at most 255 characters (it has 400)." 
With this, there is no way to know that I should change the value of Tags input.

Also the link send the user to the id #id_tags. But there is no such id on the page. The id for the tags section is #page-tags and for the field #tagit_tags.

What should have happened?
==========================
By reading the error message we should easily understand that we need to change the tags. And the link on the error message should send user directly to the tags section of the Edit interface.

Is there anything else we should know?
======================================

I can confirm the message is cryptic, it doesn't speak about the tag field

The message in context (oh! It was about tags!)
