Bridge: rename "wrong value" into "incorrect value"
Closed, ResolvedPublic1 Estimated Story Points

Description

In the Wikidata Bridge, we're currently using "wrong value" to describe a value that needs to be fixed (in the sense of: edit the existing value, as opposed to update the value, that would create a new one and update the rank).

However, based on feedback from a native English speaker (confirmed by Adam) the word "wrong" seems to carry a too strong moral meaning, and "incorrect" should be preferred. We should rephrase our messages accordingly.

  • Check all the places in the interface where we use "wrong"
  • Rename into "incorrect", adapt the sentence if necessary

@Charlie_WMDE Are you OK with that change? Could you make some suggestion for the sentence where "incorrect" would appear two times?

Pablo-WMDE subscribed.

Lydia said "let's do this" and took note to look into the topic of re-wording this label's description with respect to disputed values.

Subtle adjustment to the requested action:

Replace “a wrong” with “an incorrect”. Thanks.
