Comment(by hakre):

 I would like to see improvements here as well but I would first start to
 actually analyze why the situation is the situation we have. The overall
 concept is that errors are displayed on reference (you can provoke them
 with a get request w/o actually having an error) and the injection of the
 reference differs. Sometimes it's a numerical value only, sometimes it's a
 string value, sometimes those are multiple values which work as parameters
 in a error message.

 I guess this was the most simple concept available and I ask myself: Isn't
 it the best concept? Why should we change something? If a message is not
 fitting well in the reporters sense, that certain location in the code can
 be improved. We do not need a new overall system here. Additionally the
 error messages aren't linked into a error message repository / online help
 (e.g. within code).

 A first step would be to create a spreadsheet containing all backend
 errors with all it's parameters (if avail) and sources of error. With that
 it will be fairly much more easy to decide on new suggestions like the one
 by scribu.
