Labels on Special:Undelete should be updated after fuzzy search is added
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

As pointed out by an admin on English Wikipedia, before the addition of the fuzzy search the label made sense.

"Show pages starting with:"

After the update this will not be true as the fuzzy search means the results may contain a result.

"Show pages containing:" would be a suggested improvement.

MediaWiki:Undelete-search-prefix is the system message.

Event Timeline

If it really is a title only search perhaps "Show page titles containing:" would be ever better

We probably need two separate messages, at least for now. "Show pages starting with" is not especially correct either, but I guess it was done to keep it short. "Show page titles containing:" sounds like a good option.
