 Replying to [comment:8 c3mdigital]:
 > I like using the same error that wp_update_term issues but not sure
 about the wp_die();  What about not doing the redirect and reload the page
 instead with the error message in the admin notice?

 Yes, but the trick is that the error message from `wp_update_term()` will
 have to be passed along to be displayed on the next page load. With other
 messages, the 'message=5' query var is used, where 5 (or whatever) matches
 an item in the `$messages` array.

 Since we're probably going to have to duplicate the text from
 `wp_update_term()` messages in the `$messages` array anyway, we should
 probably go ahead and make the text a bit friendlier. The error messages
 returned from `wp_update_term()` are meant to be shown to a developer, not
 an end user.
