Problem/Motivation

While reviewing #3199972: Improve user interface text on the account cancellation screen as part of #3228187: Drupal Usability Meeting 2021-08-20 we noted that the terms "disable" and "block" are used interchangeably to mean "prevent this user from logging into the site".

For example, on the User Edit Form the status field has two options: "Active" and "Block"; While on the Account Cancellation Form we use the term "Disable". In both cases selecting these options leads to the same outcomes, but using two different terms could be a source of confusion for users.

Steps to reproduce

Proposed resolution

During the usability meeting we agreed that the term "disable" is more preferable to the term "block".

Replace the usage of the term "Block"/"Blocked" with "Disable"/"Disabled" on the User Edit Form and in the User Actions.

Remaining tasks

User interface changes

API changes

Data model changes

Version: 10.1.x-dev » 11.x-dev

Drupal core is moving towards using a “main” branch. As an interim step, a new 11.x branch has been opened, as Drupal.org infrastructure cannot currently fully support a branch named main. New developments and disruptive changes should now be targeted for the 11.x branch, which currently accepts only minor-version allowed changes. For more information, see the Drupal core minor version schedule and the Allowed changes during the Drupal core release cycle.

Version: 11.x-dev » main

Drupal core is now using the main branch as the primary development branch. New developments and disruptive changes should now be targeted to the main branch.
