Comment (by guzzilar):

 @alibasheer I was checking at `wp-includes/taxonomy.php: line 1990` on
 function '''wp_insert_term()'''.

 Would it be better if we change all of `return new WP_Error();` in that
 function to return `bad_request 400` instead of `500`?
 Seems all of WP_Error in this function shouldn't be `500` neither.
