Change instances of the term "member" to "learner" in FormWizard config, profile templates
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

There is some inconsistency with regard to terms being used to designate profiles, page names, and parameters in the space so far/ For instance, when referring to editors being matched to a mentor, we currently have "member profiles," but within the space, we refer to them as learners. This can present some general confusion, particularly when it comes to making more technical fixes to the space: Who is a member? Who is a learner? How are they different?

For the sake of consistency and ease of documentation for the various templates we are building, I think it is best if we use one term, and I'd like that term to be "learners" seeing as that is what the editors are coming to the Co-op to do.

Also, Soni and I wonder if this task is better to do before we begin moving pages over to en.wikipedia from test.wikipedia or if they can be moved and then these name changes can be done. Any recommendations?

I_JethroBT added a project: Co-op.

I'm going to start moving pages over in the interest of time and getting things moving for our March 4th pilot.

@I_JethroBT. As you wish :) I switched to using the term "member" because I preferred it to "learner", but agree that we need to pick one, and it's your call to make. I'll switch it over in the template, module, and gadget paths, code, and configs.

@Capt_Swing Honestly, I was going back-and-forth on "member" and "learner" once I saw it. It's a solid idea, and I really don't have any strong objections to it. I think if there are major objections to the term "learner" down the line from the community, I wouldn't have any problem using "member" as an alternative.

Nah, learner's fine. I've already started the name shift as I moved the pages over (see @T90366). Will do the same with FormWizard configs.
