Sometimes it's called Edit, sometimes it's called Change. Time for some consistency. ;)

    I guess that we should standardize on Edit.

    In general I agree with both of you (Olaf that it should be consistent and Marc that it should be Edit).

    I think there are cases where each one is a better choice; for example "Change password", but I believe Olaf is referring to the table structure page.

    I'm torn on this, because I think you "edit" data but "change" structure, so I tend to be pretty happy with how it is. If we do change it, I think "Edit" is better than "Change" in these cases.

    I'm going to give this more thought.

    I noticed it on the browse page. Editing multiple rows is called Change.

    For structure perhaps Alter would be more SQLike. ;)
