I've read extensively and think I'm close, but I could use some help. My objective is simply to change the X comments text to "X Incident Updates". I'd be stoked if I could get the count of comments, but I'd settle for setting the link text to "Incident Updates". If there's a URL I've missed somewhere, I'd be happy for the reference.

I'm using a copy of Bluemarine to test with. I'm using this function in my template.php file and can successfully set the title. However, I'm unable to display it. I've tried adding a return $links to the function, but I get nothing displayed.

From what I've read, it looks like I need to edit the node.tpl.php or come up with a different function. Any help would be appreciated.

function bluemarine_links($links, $attributes = array('class' => 'links')) {
	foreach ($links as $module => $link) {   // iterate over the $links array
	if (strcmp($module, 'comment_comments') == 0) {
		$links[$module]['title'] = 'Incident Updates';
		}	
	}
	// drupal_set_message(print_r($links)); // uncomment to display your $links array 
// return $links;
}

You could try the String Overrides module, it makes changing stuff like this very very easy.

The fix was to use the whole theme_links() function as a prototype function in my template.php file. I inserted my mods into a local copy of theme_links() and got the link title changed. Now I need to test it further.

With your code, I think you can still use the theme_links function to display your links like below: 

function bluemarine_links($links, $attributes = array('class' => 'links')) {
    foreach ($links as $module => $link) {   // iterate over the $links array
    if (strcmp($module, 'comment_comments') == 0) {
        $links[$module]['title'] = 'Incident Updates';
        }   
    }

   return theme_links($links, $attributes);
}

It seemed to work for me.

You can get the number of comments for a node. Read here --> http://api.drupal.org/api/function/comment_num_all/6.
