A discussion about terms in the team meeting today enables me to offer some general language guidance:
- "Post" is generally the preferred term. Every comment on a discussion age is a "post."
- "Reply" refers to a subset of "posts"--technically to all but the fist post in a topic. Any post, excepting the first in a topic, can be termed a "reply," whether or not it is actually responding directly to a previous post.
- "Comment" has no particular meaning and should not be used except in a general way.
In light of all that, please fix the language in the message below to say "This post was deleted..."

[mediawiki/extensions/Flow@master] Change "comment" to "post" in English messages

I have changed English messages to say "post" instead of "comment" where it seemed logical. I don't think we should change all messages which contain "comment"/"commented", as there are lots of messages that contain such strings that make more sense to have "comment" stay. Probably that's what you meant by all, and feel free to suggest other changes.

@Catrope - seems like a weird caching issue?
Checked in testwiki (wmf.20) - upon clicking on 'Hide' the word 'comment' is displayed:
Upon refreshing the page - 'comment' changes to 'post'. It happens repeatedly on the same page.

Closing the task after re-checking - it seems that the previous comment refers to the initial post-deployment state on testwiki when the cache needed get repopulated.
