When creating a new article, the term will apparently change from Save to
Publish.

When Editing an existing article, the term is now *Save*. I hope that
button will remain the same?

PS As an ardent Wikipedian, I totally agree with Grossman 2014 (Wikiwand): "It
didn’t make sense to us that the fifth most popular website in the world,
used by half a billion people, has an interface that hasn’t been updated in
over a decade. We found the Wikipedia interface cluttered, hard to read
(large blocks of small text), hard to navigate, and lacking in terms of
usability."
