Change language from "delete" to "remove" participants
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Background:

We have heard user feedback that delete sounds concerning, whereas remove sounds more neutral and what would be expected.

Acceptance Criteria:
  • Given that a user has the ability to remove participants via the Participants tab of Special:EventDetails,
    • They should see a button that says "Remove" rather than "Delete,"
      • And if they click on "Remove," the message in the pop-up should remain the same ("Remove participant / Are you sure you want to remove the selected participant?")
        • But the button selection below should be changed to be: "Cancel / Remove" rather than "Cancel / Delete")
Visual examples of current behavior (which we want to change):

Working as expected, moving to product sign-off!

This has been released and it is working as expected, so I'm marking this as done. Thank you for your work on this, @SheetalPro!
