Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

When reaching Phase κ, we should have a good idea about our terminology. We should settle on a naming and prefixing convention, if any, for API modules and Special pages and revisit the current names and see if they need an update.

This is the list of Special pages: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/plugins/gitiles/mediawiki/extensions/WikiLambda/+/refs/heads/master/includes/Special/

I suggest to do the following renames:

  • CreateZObject -> CreateObject or NewObject
  • EvaluteFunctionCall -> RunFunction
  • ListDuplicateZObjectLabels -> ListDuplicateObjectNames
  • ListZObjectsByType -> ListObjectsByType

This is the list of APIs: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/plugins/gitiles/mediawiki/extensions/WikiLambda/+/refs/heads/master/includes/API/

I look through the APIs and noticed a few superfluous Zs, but in the end, nothing that I thought would be really necessary to rename. I would just leave the APIs as is.
