Thread:VisualEditor/Feedback/Categories/reply (6)

I think we need to be very careful to avoid putting needlessly-complicated words in front of potential new editors that are likely to scare them away rather than encourage them; "metadata" sounds intimidating, confusing and is not just very unlikely to get users to click the button, but will also add a tone of complexity and technical speciality that will dissuade users from staying.

So, if we can't use "metadata" (and we really, really shouldn't), what else? "Page data"? "Page details"? I also think splitting out the message to name categories differently from other meta-data is the wrong approach - it tries to box people into not setting things like DISPLAYTITLE which are very useful. Just because editing through wikitext makes these very hard to discover doesn't mean we should discourage users from using them in software (that's what community policy and socialisation is for).
