Problem/Motivation
@larowlan posted a simplified patch for #1801268: Change link field 'title' field to 'link text' but this leaves a few unresolved issues that should be fixed.
Proposed resolution
Variables should be renamed, renderable link arrays need to be fixed, upgrade paths addressed, etc. As @falcon03 says 'I still think that having "link text" assigned to a $title or $link_title variable is really confusing from a novice developer point of view.'
So if we can reduce the confusion in D8, great!
Remaining tasks
The above mentioned tasks need to be assigned to a contributor.
User interface changes
As mentioned above.
API changes
None.

quietone CreditAttribution: quietone as a volunteer commentedThe issue summary needs more specifics in order to make any change to the code, such as
What variables should be renamed and what is the suggested new name?
What needs to be fixed with the renderable link arrays?
What is the problem with the upgrade path that needs to be fixed?
There has been no discussion here for 8 years so I wonder what if any of these items have been addressed. Can anyone check that?
