Yup, another reason to not change the "description" key.
In a world where we factor out page terms into its own thing and could move things around a nice final output could be something like:
[
'wikibase' => [
'label' => 'Foo1',
'description' => 'Foo2',
],
'article' => [
'description' => 'from the parser function',
]
]BTW. I wondered where "terms" originated from in wikidata speak. Best I could find was: "Term is a technical concept representing some text (a single string) in a specific language. Allocated in a set contained by a Fingerprint, Terms are used to capture Labels and Descriptions of Entities."
From an older version of the wikibase development glossary: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Henning_(WMDE)/Wikibase/Glossary#Term
So yes, a term is basically a string in a specific language, although the term "term" can appear in different ways at different levels of the system.
Also with the above definition individual aliases are probably also terms / can be represented as a term.
