Bug #: 39421
Summary: the term "tag" is English Wikipedia jargon, and should
not be used
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Keywords: i18n
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: PageTriage

The term "tag" to refer to maintenance templates, such as templates that
request deletion, notability clarification or adding references is a jargon
word that is used by some English Wikipedia editors. The word "tag" usually has
a rather different meaning in other websites.
Translators of this extension cannot be expected to be familiar with this
jargon. They are likely to translate it using the word for "tag" in their
language and thus confuse the extension's users.
The word "tag" must be replaced in all message by words such as "maintenance
template", "cleanup template", "article message template" etc. This will be
clear to English Wikipedia editors and to everybody else.
