"Global Dashboard" vs "User Dashboard"

[johnjamesjacoby]

In a multisite installation, when visiting the "user dashboard" (at domain.com/wp-admin/user), the toolbar menu item says:

Global Dashboard

In my opinion, this is incorrect, because in a multi-network installation, each user's dashboard is actually specific to the network it's being viewed from for that user, and is not "global" to anything.

Imagine the following URL's showing two different dashboards:

• test1.domain.com/wp-admin/user
• test2.domain.com/wp-admin/user

Consider that currently, there is no such thing as a global dashboard, and if we invent one the user dashboard should not be it. A truly "global" dashboard is global to the entire WordPress installation, not to any individual user, site, network, etc...

String changes

32754.01.patch highlights the 2 string changes I'd like to see. There are likely to be documentation changes that would accompany this, such as in 25825.3.diff.

I agree. I'd like to see a Global Dashboard/Admin, etc to manage a multi-network in place in Core eventually and updating this nomenclature oddity early will help if/when something truly global is added to core.

This is definitely a user dashboard, not a global dashboard. The URL says so and the is_user_admin() conditional says so.

In 32917:

Correct the title used on the user dashboard.

Fixes #32754
