Research direction

Start in public_html/wp-content/plugins/pattern-directory/includes/pattern-validation.php, at the is_title_valid function and its current error message. Trace how prohibited words are detected, then make the validation response identify the relevant words; done means an invalid title explains which words caused the failure.

Description

See: https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/65032

The is_title_valid function checks if a title is valid by verifying the presence of specific words. However, users only see Pattern title is invalid. The pattern title should describe the pattern. as an error message, making it unclear what the problem is. I suggest clearly indicating which words are prohibited within the user's input title.
