Change Read Article in Link preview to Read Page
Open, LowestPublicFeature

Description

Feature summary (what you would like to be able to do and where):
From Clovermoss: Anytime I click anything, I have to click "read article". Whether that's an actual article, talk pages, user pages, etc. Having the box say "read page" would be more accurate.

Use case(s) (list the steps that you performed to discover that problem, and describe the actual underlying problem which you want to solve. Do not describe only a solution):

  • Go a Wikipedia article
  • Click a link
  • Review bottom sheet

Benefits (why should this be implemented?):

  • Less confusing when opening a page that isn't an article

Event Timeline

I think having just "Read" would suffice.

@Dbrant also shared the idea of calling things in the Main namespace “article”, and things outside the Main namespace “page”.

Additionally, he very accurately pointed out this is a very EN Wiki-centric debate (article vs page)
