The user cancellation texts are quite scary that all content is about to be removed if I cancel one user. Its pretty scary. We should instead say its the account's content. (Note that this is displayed on the user settings pages as general settings options, then when canceling an account or when canceling your own account). So we need text that fits all three scenarios.

RobLoachIn summary, we're changing the following text when a user account is being deleted:
I think it's a reasonable change and gives a bit more context to the text.
".. all content belonging to it" might work too, but it would be nice if we could use her/him to give some respect as it kind of sounds weird in some cases.

cbrookins CreditAttribution: cbrookins commentedI don't think repeating the word account is a problem - it makes it crystal clear. However could replace 'the account' with 'it's'
* Disable the account and keep all content. ---> Disable the account and it's content.
* Disable the account and unpublish all content. ---> Disable the account and unpublish it's content.
* Delete the account and make all content belong to the %anonymous-name user. ---> Delete the account and make it's content belong to the %anonymous-name user.
* Delete the account and all content. ---> Delete the account and it's content.

joachim CreditAttribution: joachim commented#5 looks good, but obviously should be 'its' and not 'it's' ;)

sunYeah, let's just squeeze an "its" into all options. Sufficiently resolves this issue.

joachim CreditAttribution: joachim commentedHere's a patch with 'its'. Like Monty Python ;)

David_Rothstein CreditAttribution: David_Rothstein commentedPatch looks good - looks like a no-brainer to me.
I think we can maybe still squeeze this in as a bugfix. If not, marking it RTBC is the way for someone to tell us that :)
Comment #11
webchickI think this is sufficiently unclear that we can classify as a bugfix.
Committed to HEAD. Thanks!
