Actually, "there are currently 2 my_type items" may sound better than "there are currently 2 my_type contents"...

Looks like we actually might be able to delete the 'node'. No need to substitute it with 'item'.

Yes, nodes of a deleted content type can't be edited and there is no warranty on the display, but they can be deleted via admin/content/node.
I'm not sure I get what you mean.
I believe there's a will to avoid using the word 'node' in the UI texts, this patch just replaces a remaining occurrence with 'item' or 'content', which are generally used in the other parts of the UI.

I think Dries means that rather than saying "2 page items" or "2 page content" you should just say "2 pages."

However, that doesn't work because the plural for story, for example, is "stories" not "storys." You can say "1 story," but the sentences should probably match.

The word we use for single instances of content though is typically "posts" -- so updated the patch to reflect this.

I think "post" has precisely been removed as well for being confusing. See http://www.drupal.org/node/94019.
AFAICT, the current interface uses 'content' for the collection of nodes on the site, and 'items' for individual nodes.

That issue to me seems more to refer to a menu entry that said "posts" and nothing more. What are posts? What about posts can I do here? etc. The other changes/comments in that thread seem to be related to that change (if we call posts content here, we should do it here and here as well for consistency).

If we're wanting to remove the word "post" entirely from the UI, we have A LOT of work to do, none of which can be done in the timeframe of an RC, especially in a string freeze. "Posts" seems to be the word used throughout core when talking about individual pieces of content, rather than content as a whole -- ex: "My recent posts" in tracker module, "Manage posts by content type" in the admin menu, "Post settings", etc.

"Items" tends to refer to menu or RSS items in the UI, so probably shouldn't be used. "contents" is not a plural word -- it would be content. However, it's awkward to say "there are 2 story content" -- so I would stick with posts.

> "contents" is not a plural word

Heh. ;) Of course "contents" _is_ a plural word; but "content" in the general sense of "the site's content" where it is used most often cannot be pluralized; "contents" means "the stuff inside this thing" and we're talking about individual pieces of "the content" itself.

That is probably still confusing so I think I will drop it now. :)

Agreed about "contents" not being right.
'items' is used for instance on admin/content/node :
"show only items where..." / "are you sure you want to delete these items ?" ...
But 'posts' is used in numerous other places indeed.

Well, just to sum up :
patch in #2 says 'items'
patch in #4 says 'posts'
and one of them is probably RTBC :-)

Er, sorry :
Well, just to sum up :
patch in #1 says 'items'
patch in #4 says 'posts'
and one of them is probably RTBC :-)
