Bug #22024
openImproving site creating error text/flow
0%
Description
This is minor, but it was frustrating for me when I just discovered it, so perhaps it will save others down the road. When creating a site, if you put only numbers in the domain, it throws an error when trying to proceed that says:
Sorry, site names must have letters too!
That should say "site domains" instead I think, to avoid confusion with the Site Title. See attached screenshot.
It is more frustrating if you're trying to clone a site and this happens, because when the error gets thrown, it takes you back to the "Create a New Site" radio button at the top instead of the "Clone an Existing Site" radio button, and all the work you just did inputting your clone's new info is lost.
Can we make sure that your place and information is saved when an error is thrown? See attached screencast video. I thought this might also be the case for other kinds of errors, making it less of an edge case than the domain numbers example.

Jeremy, could you please have a look? The text change is minor. The more complex bit is prefilling form fields in case of a failed submission. I figured maybe you'd be best to look at this, since you built a good bit of this cloning interface.
