Comment (by afercia):

 To better clarify the point that the message ''content'' is more important
 than the "Error" prefix, here's a summary of some bits of
 [https://wordpress.slack.com/archives/C02RP4X03/p1580483849221400 the
 relevant conversation on the WordPress Slack].

 For example, when the "Error" prefix is in a `wp_die()`:

 > On such a page, it’s pretty evident an error occurred. I'm not sure what
 value the word “Error” adds in this case.


 Same applies to the admin notices: they're already pretty prominent.

 > When the content is clear and understandable by everyone, there's
 probably no need to add anything else.

 Also regarding consistency: in the current WordPress codebase, there are
 error messages that don’t use the prefix “Error” at all. Overall, keeping
 it simple is probably the best option.


 Lastly, reading the arguments from #15887, I'm not sure "yelling" at users
 is a good strategy for a good user interface.
