[Admin Score] change wording from "worthy" to something else
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Hello,

a user on German Wikipedia noted that the wording describing the AdminScore https://xtools.wmflabs.org/adminscore needs changing:

Find out how admin-worthy a user is

In their opinion, it is not about worthiness, but about whether the admin candidates have skills that make it likely that they will do a good job.

As far as I can tell, this is the former version of AdminScore: https://tools.wmflabs.org/apersonbot/aadminscore/
If I see this correctly, the "worthy" wording was not used there.

Can you change the wording to something better?

Thanks,
Johanna

To me "worthy" still roughly means they "have skills that make it likely that they will do a good job", but I agree it is odd wording. Not sure what an appropriate alternative is... suggestions welcome! :)

How about:

Score indicating a user's readiness for adminship

I think that's better! Still sounds a little weird to me, but I don't know of a short and sweet way to put it.

@JStrodt_WMDE what do you think?

Thanks, Matthew and Leon. I agree, to me that sounds better.
@Michi, what do you think of this new wording?

"Readiness" is much better – go for it!
