Thanks, Alex! I see, now. Amir, you guessed it: owner is intentional in this space because it is really important that anyone potentially moderating this knows that it is not a collaborative work and it very much is the opinion of the person who created it. It is going to be a big mind-shift for moderators to dramatically loosen the restrictions on this feature (collections need not be: npov, factually accurate, non-personal, notable).
Is there any word in other languages that you feel's captures this without implying gender? Creator? I think curator is a little wordy and we might have collaboration at some point (with permissions granted by the 'owner') -J On Mon, Mar 30, 2015 at 2:38 AM, Joaquin Oltra Hernandez < jhernan...@wikimedia.org> wrote: > Indeed it is only API documentation and the label of the user column on > the administration view Special:GatherLists so it isn't something *widely* > visible. > > I'm fine with renaming it to whatever you guys feel is appropiate. > > I've created a phab task to track this on the current sprint, we can > continue conversation there https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T94391 > > Thanks! > > On Mon, Mar 30, 2015 at 7:07 AM, Alex Monk <kren...@gmail.com> wrote: > >> I'm guessing it's one of these: >> alex@alex-laptop:~/Development/MediaWiki/extensions/Gather (master)$ >> grep -i owner i18n/en.json >> "gather-lists-collection-owner": "Owner", >> "apihelp-gather-param-owner": "Owner of the collections to search for.
