Term "censor" in Flow
What "censor" means in the context of Flow? How does it differ from hiding or deleting? mw:Flow Portal/Functional Specifications/Moderation, Protection, and Refactoring uses three terms: hide, delete, and suppress.
Please file a bug immediately, hopefully they'll fix the error quickly. (I consider it an error because we're already struggling with oversight and revdeletion terminology after years, they can't possibly be adding more inconsistency and confusion on purpose.)
Was a bug opened? Outside of the i18n file, there are 22 mentions of "censor" (case insensitive) in the master Flow code. Some urgency appears to be prudent to ensure this is cleared up.
Now I only find "Valid values for moderationState are: (none), hidden, deleted, censored", but "censored" is not mentioned in any other English message text and I see "suppress". Something's off now, I guess.
Please open a bug for this. The internal representation of the state is still "censored", and in this UI message, that surfaces.
Censor = suppression.
It used to be called "censor", but we've now changed all messages to "suppress". In code, however, everything is still called and referred to as "censor" (because it's not that trivial to get rid of). There's a patch to change all code occurrences of "censor" to "suppress" now, so "censor" may soon be gone entirely: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/97751/
Until that is merged, you can rest assured that any occurence of "censor" actually means "suppress".
