I tried to create Map extensions with a comparison table about the software found in Category:Map extensions but I just get MediaWiki:Abusefilter-warning-wrongwiki, which currently says:

While I find the grumpy cat amusing, it's also quite unwelcoming.

Creating pages in the main space is limited for new users. Try creating it as a subpage of your user page and then moving it. Also, note that there's already a redirect page "Maps extension" so creating "Map extensions" might not be the best name---something like "Map extensions comparison" or "Comparison of map extensions" might be better.

I don't think their issue was with the validity of the message, but with its presentation/tone instead. Which I definitely can agree with — there's no need for the message to be so condescending and, well, grumpy.

Thanks :) Maybe the error message should say something like: Hey, editing the main namespace is limited for new users. And maybe don't show a grumpy cat to new users trying to improve the wiki.
