- Description
In Tiki23 (and more) we have different name for what appears in the user name the same thing. (bolder if he is not English mother tongue)
This parameter is a captionCopy to clipboardCaptionName
This parameter is a labelEtc... You understand the idea. Sometimes it may be different WITHIN the tool usage (one word in the Admin area, another on the wiki page, etc).
I don't want to argue about what do what and improve the exact terminology of things.
I want to improve the user experience by using consistent parameters so he feel less confused (Tiki is confusing... ?)So when the user (not necessarily Admins) edit a page and add a plugin directly he doesn't have to look the doc to know if he should use; caption, label, name or title.
We may end with some "specificities" due to the real usage but it have to stop to be a Russian roulette. 😉
- Solution
This is wide but not that complicate in the end.
First task is to create a wiki page and establish list of terms used per area, check the term used and dress a list.IE:
- Wiki-plugin
Plugin | Parameter name | Proposed
... | ...
Code | Caption | Title
Fade | Label | Title
... | ...#Modules
... | ... ||# Features
Etc...
Then we will ask our "linguist specialist" 😉 to help us with naming the things.To make it simple, let's start with the plugins (a rather simple case) and then we will have better experience on how to progress with the other areas.
