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."

The majority of the work we do isnt publishing, removing copyrighted content from an article isnt publishing. When discussing issues on talk people dont see that as publishing but rather discussing.
As someone who has trained a lot of people if the term publish is used it'll actually be a hindrance to getting them to make even the smallest of spelling corrections.
Not every language has a word for publish, there are some 300 Indigenous Australian languages that dont one our biggest challenges in taking the first Australian Indigenous (Noongar[NYS]) language from incubator to live is actually in finding the right words for the buttons and menus

A long-requested change to the "Save" button may finally happen towards
the
end of March. This is a button that anyone leading a workshop about
editing
is going to talk about, so I wanted to make sure that you didn't get surprised by this change.
I set out may arguments against this change; and the negative impact it will have in the draft namespace/ AFC in particular, in:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Village_pump_(t echnical)/Archive_148#Save.2FPublish
AFAICT, the latter point in particular has not been addressed.
The downside is that all of the documentation and help pages is going
to be out
of date.
Not to mention videos.
