Come together with the global Drupal community in Rotterdam, 28 Sept – 1 Oct 2026. Sessions, contribution, connection, and Early Bird savings until 8 June.Problem/Motivation
The Activity Tracker (tracker module) refers to comments as "replies" in its tables, for example on /activity. Since "comments" is the term that's used accross a Drupal site, it should be "comments" here as well.
If the tracker listing is replaced by a view then this issue might be obsolete #1941830: Convert tracker listings to a view.
Proposed resolution
Replace "replies" by "comments" in the activity tables.
Remaining tasks
User interface changes
The hook_help text for the tracker module already talks about comments. If this issue does not get fixed, then the help text needs to be changed.

ifrikThanks drubb,
The table now displays the "comment" as table header in both tables.
The patch only changes the display of the table header.

webchickYep, I honestly can't think of a good reason for this inconsistency.
If we wanted to be super careful, we could not rename the table header in case some module somewhere is modifying that tracker table, but I highly doubt it.
Committed and pushed to 8.0.x. Thanks!
