consistent capitalization of Lexeme/Form/Sense/Item/Property in UI messages
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Problem:
In our messages we are not consistent in capitalizing Lexeme/Form/Sense/Item/Property. They are sometimes lower-case. They should not be if they refer to the Wikibase entity types.

Acceptance criteria:

  • Lexeme, Form, Sense, Item and Property are capitalized in all UI messages.

Spotted another one: "add sense" link on a Lexeme page haz no capital

Sorry, I had not seen this task, only the fact that "item" was mostly lower case and the WikibaseLexeme entity types mostly upper case. I decided to make them all lower case because that reflects natural language, and obviously a decision for upper case pseudo-proper names would get lost in translation, anyway.

@Vogone Because some of the words (form, sense) can be used both to define and to describe the data types, we decided to have them upper case. Otherwise the senses would not make sense if we keep this form, same for the forms :)

Now it is inconsistent with https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/plugins/gitiles/mediawiki/extensions/Wikibase/+/master/lib/i18n/en.json again ("item" always lower case). Please make it consistent or revert, while I would definitely prefer the latter since this "upper casing" is not translatable.
