Here is a patch to introduce the change of messages (Messages) region to informations (Informations) in Classy theme.
It does :
- do the change
- make sure messages block is set to informations by default
- add the usual markups for regions :

<code><div class="informations">
  <aside class="layout-container section clearfix" role="complementary">
     <div class="region region-informations">
       content of information region

NOTE: this depends on the patch https://www.drupal.org/node/2471681#comment-9826281 first !

Postponing this issue until a consensus is made on the new region name within the Bartik issue.

Because it can be applied without parent patch, and because the fix is so easy, we will take care of it in one single issue at

So, are we going to do all of them here or have separate issues like #2471655: Rename the Messages region in Seven. ? We need to close on of them

Title: Rename the default Messages region for all themes » [meta] Rename the default Messages region for all themes

This is the meta, child issues are:

But then we still need to update ThemeHandler and Classy. Child issues for those as well, or do we do those in this issue? Up to LewisNyman & emma.maria to decide :)

Ahh hmm, originally this issue was just for Classy, which inherits the defaults regions. I was thinking this issue could handle the patch for Stark and Classy, which is effectively the default regions that affect all themes. I guess this can be a meta or just make the changes for the default regions.

Rather than having a meta and child issues, I think we should handle this in one issue. Otherwise, how can we close any child issue, if the resulting patch from such an issue leaves HEAD inconsistent? It's a little bit messier to have it all in one, but patches are only coming out as three to five line changes anyway.

Given @alexpott has replied on #2470807: Rename the default "Messages" region for all themes to "Highlighted" regarding consistency, and given the patches on here don't reference "highlighted" so much as "informations", I nominate that one as having the historical record.
