Indeed it is only API documentation and the label
of the user column on
the administration view Special:GatherLists so it isn't something *widely*
visible.
I'm fine with renaming it to whatever you guys feel is appropiate.
I've created a phab task to track this on the current sprint, we can
continue conversation there
Thanks!

I'm guessing it's one of these:
alex@alex-laptop:~/Development/MediaWiki/extensions/Gather (master)$
grep -i owner i18n/en.json
"gather-lists-collection-owner": "Owner",
"apihelp-gather-param-owner": "Owner of the collections to search for.
If omitted, defaults to current user.",
alex@alex-laptop:~/Development/MediaWiki/extensions/Gather (master)$
grep gather-lists-collection-owner includes/* -R
includes/specials/SpecialGatherLists.php: . Html::element( 'span',
array(), wfMessage( 'gather-lists-collection-owner' ) )
So I'm guessing this is at
https://test.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:GatherLists - the first column
shows as "Owner" in English.
It also shows up in the API.

Hi Amir,
I want to help on this, but am not sure where this shows up. Can you
refer us to where in the interface owner appears?
Thanks,
