Hi @leemon,

Thanks for the patch!

As mentioned in #34027:

Just a couple of notes:

  • Let's go with the vernacular of something like "the current {type} widget instance" instead of "a particular instance of a widget". Being general in the WP_Widget base class is fine, but in this context, we can be more specific. For example:
 * Handles updating settings for the current Text widget instance.
  • Notice I inserted the type of widget, in this case "Text", and more specifically mentioned updating the settings which is what the update() method does.
  • The same sort of advice goes along with any other method in the class. The idea is to avoid simple copy pasta and actually get specific :-)
