The current editnotice mentions: "User:}}
The User: here is redundant, as it is already covered in the Title Blacklist:
Category:User:.*
If you just put
:You appear to be trying to create a category for User:User:Example. (with a redlink, most likely)
instead of:
:You appear to be trying to create a category for User:Example.
Plus, the actual "double namespace" trips another Title Blacklist entry. –ToxiBoi! (contribs) 22:38, 27 January 2020 (UTC)
