I would like us to change the "Unlink" label to "Remove link", because:

• It feels like a jargon word, appropriate for us to use internally (e.g. in the name of the icon :) ), but not in the interface intended for people with varying degrees of experience
• We do not use "link" as a verb elsewhere in the interface, only as a noun, e.g. "Add a link" not "Link"
• I think it would encourage poor translations that feel even more jargony
• We have more than enough space in the interface, so we do not need the brevity
• I am not sure if "unlink" in this meaning is a real word in English. I checked a few dictionaries online and if they defined "unlink" at all, the definition is only about detaching physical things, not about hyperlinks (while the "link" verb has a separate definition for hyperlinks on the web)

In general, I support this change @matmarex. I am wondering does remove link have the same definition as unlink? To me unlink means to detach the existing link but possibly maintaining the intention to re-link, while remove means to go nuclear and complete change it back to plain text. As I write this I'm not even sure if it really makes a difference.

Hmm, I don’t think I see a difference either.

@Whatamidoing-WMF I am tagging you here as @ppelberg is going to discuss getting translation support with this ticket
