"About IATI Publisher" link is confusing

Brief Description On the page for each activity there's a link that says "About IATI Publisher", which I'm confused by

On the page for each activity there's a link that says "About IATI Publisher":

This seems to link to https://www.iatiregistry.org/publisher/ on all activity pages (e.g. https://d-portal.org/ctrack.html?text_search=food#view=act&aid=US-GOV-1-720BHA23IO00060 ) as well as search result pages (e.g. https://d-portal.org/ctrack.html?text_search=food#view=active)

This is a bit confusing, as there's now a tool called IATI Publisher. I'm also unsure what I expect when I click the link: I only clicked it because I wondered if it indicated that the publisher had used IATI Publisher!

What was the link intended to do? Can we remove it or fix and rename it, now that there's a tool called IATI Publisher?

The link was added from https://github.com/IATI/D-Portal/issues/437

It currently links to the generic publisher list on the registry if you are not looking at a specific publisher on d-portal or have chosen a publisher in the search.

Perhaps it should be renamed to, 'Contact Publisher' and be displayed only when a publisher can be determined.

That makes a lot of sense, thanks!

I like that idea :)

Link has been updated https://github.com/IATI/D-Portal/commit/b1fca011a2e76eda4b72ff1ae64de254ec1194ed.

There's also a link in the footer that has been updated with the same logic.

This is great, thanks

Just flagging a link to https://github.com/IATI/D-Portal/issues/669 - in terms of use of the term Publisher and our meaning / understanding behind it

However, no need for a hardline or a purge --> small steps always appreciated!
