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 https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T94391

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,

Hi,

I am translating Gather, and I feel very uncomfortable about the term "Owner".

It's challenging to translate, because in the languages I care about - Hebrew and Russian - it requires gender. Now gender can be added without too much technical effort, but there's still the general feeling of discomfort - "owner" is a strong word in the Wikimedia world, which should usually be avoided without a good reason.

Was this word chosen intentionally, to show that lists are, in fact, owned, and privately curated?

Maybe it could be changed to something like "maintainer", "curator" or something else? Or simply "User"?
