Block Editor Handbook :: Landing Page :: Naming adjustments for block editor parts

[juanmaguitar]

What?

Naming adjustments for Block Editor parts to be more precise and clear at the Block Editor Handbook landing page

Why?

Because these namings reflect better the current terms used for these parts

---

• Block Inserter: A panel for inserting blocks into the content canvas
• Content Canvas: The content editor, which holds content created with blocks
• Block Inspector (settings sidebar): A panel for configuring the selected block’s settings (as a tab of the settings sidebar)

Should this be called just the "Inserter"? Using it you can insert patterns and media, as well as blocks.

[juanmaguitar]

That's a good question.
At https://wordpress.org/documentation/article/wordpress-block-editor/ this part is called "Block Inserter".
I think the reasoning is that patterns and/or media are at the end just different ways of inserting blocks.

In my review of the previous landing page PR, I asked @mburridge to change it to Inserter for those same reasons. I would avoid using Blocks here similarly to how we are starting to say Templates more instead of Block Templates.

I close this PR as there seems to be a tendency to remove the term "block" to refer to parts of the Block Editor.
