Misleading and confusing wording:
logged-in contributors and the count of logged-out contributors
This is suggesting that the current state of login sessions will be communicated.
Actually, that wants to express:
registered contributors and the count of anonymous contributors

@NewtonKamau: Hi and thank you for your interest! Please check thoroughly https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/New_Developers (and all of its communication section!). The page covers how to get started, assigning tasks, task status, how to find a codebase, how to create patches, where to ask general development questions and where to get help with setup problems, and how to ask good questions. Thanks a lot! :) The codebase is /mediawiki/core/ in Gerrit.
I have made the requested change, should I change all instances of logged-in contributors to registered contributors and those logged-out to anonymous contributors ?
I have made the requested change
Congratulations! Please share your patch in Gerrit (and make sure your commit message follows the rules) so we can all see which changes we're discussing. :)
Change #1023111 had a related patch set uploaded (by Aklapper; author: NewtonKamau):
[mediawiki/core@master] used registered contributor instead of logged-in. As for the suggested solution
@Aklapper is it okay if I changed all the occurrences in the document ?. To use registered and logged-out?
@NewtonKamau Which "document"? Please be more specific and avoid ambiguity - thanks! :)
The en.json inside il8n is the one that has logged-in contributors. I was asking if I should change this file to the above suggestions. (Correct me if I'm wrong).
@Aklapper
NewtonKamau already submitted a patch at https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/mediawiki/core/+/1023111. It's still pending code review (and yes, the fact that trivial patches can languish in code review for that long is a problem)
