Bug ID: 47676
Summary: The 'cancel' message is confusing

The 'cancel' message is used confusingly.
I only noticed it recently. I know of two places where it is used, though there
may be more:
1. As a link near the "Show changes" button when editing a page.
2. As a button near the "Review and save" button in the VisualEditor.
In both cases it's better to say something like "Exit without saving". The
"Cancel" button is usually used in dialog boxes and not in editors' user
interfaces.
The message may be used in other places and in extensions, so it's probably
better not to change it. For these actions a new message should be created, or
maybe even two messages.
