Create clear vocabulary for technical terms for usage throughout ui messages and as reference for translators
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Wikibase introduces a lot of very technical terms in its messages. We should tray to find a way to express those messages in a simpler, yet consistent way. Being able to do this without being inconsistent requires us to define a clear vocabulary well documented, so different developers can use those terms rather than the more technical ones they are using in the code.

No its not very clear as the community adds their understanding of the concepts, which does not align well with the developers mental model.

Without being aware of this bug ticket, I created a new one with some more explanation.
