Improve copy consistency across pages
Open, MediumPublic

Description

Before the community starts to extensively translate the labels and the messaging on Wikifunctions we should make sure that the presented copy is consistent across pages.

For instance, sometimes we refer to aliases as "Aliases", some other times we refer to them as "Also known as", and some other times as "Alternative names". Another example is the object label, sometimes we refer to it as a "Label", other times as a "Name".

The following review suggest changes to existing labels where they are. If they are defined as qqq, we specified the new or edited qqq. If they are defined as zobject labels, we specified the edited zid.

This task doesn't question if we should turn a qqq into a zobject label, or vice versa. We should file a separate task for that. The main goal here it to make the copy consistent as it is defined and implemented today.

Copy review summary
For each page, we collected all the existing labels in a separate sheet. For each label we specified if there's no change needed, if it needs to be edited, if it's a new label that should be created, or if it can be deleted.

AAlhazwani-WMF removed AAlhazwani-WMF as the assignee of this task.
AAlhazwani-WMF moved this task from In Progress to Backlog on the Abstract Wikipedia team board.

un-assigning and moving back go the ready column as we might address this as part of a larger area of work on multilingual contributions
