remove "twinkle" and "friendly" from module names #1974

Closed NovemLinguae closed 1 month ago

overly verbose
makes alphabetizing difficult

Should probably work on and merge this patch after clearing out the PR queue, to avoid a bunch of merge conflicts.

While you're at it, consider renaming "fluff" too, I've found it confusing and opaque.

Note to self: scripts/draftRelease.sh, scripts/sync.pl, and MediaWiki:Gadgets-definition contain lists of Twinkle files that will need to be updated.

I think I've changed my mind about this ticket. Removing "twinkle" from the beginning of the module names would make CirrusSearch search suggestions worse, and would break the convention of prefixing gadget files with the name of the gadget.

Perhaps I will re-scope this ticket to rename "friendly" to "twinkle".
