Description Tuomas Hietala 2025-09-22 15:19:03 UTC 
Description:
On the "Extensions: Gallery" dialog, the term "Voting" is used for the star rating of each extension. This sounds quite strange in English, as the word "voting" refers to the act of casting a vote: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/voting

"Rating", on the other hand, refers not only to the act, but also the result of rating something, which is the case here: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/rating


Steps to Reproduce:
1. In e.g. Writer, open the Gallery sidebar deck
2. Click the button with the tooltip "Add more galleries via extension" to open the dialog



Actual Results:
The term "Voting" is used in a unusual way.

Expected Results:
The term "Rating" is used, which is more natural English.


Reproducible: Always

+1, reasonable terminology change, asking folks for a "rating" is more appropriate than "voting" regards to usefulness or merits of an extension/feature.
