Description
The wording of the email that a user gets when you change the administration email address on a site is confusing.
Current:
Howdy [name],
You recently requested to have the administration email address on your site changed.
If this is correct, please click on the following link to change it:
https://example.com/wp-admin/options.php?adminhash=fcedb1537af41f16914d835e5d16d089
You can safely ignore and delete this email if you do not want to take this action.
This email has been sent to [your-email]
Regards,
All at [site-name]
[site-url]
Proposed Update:
Howdy [name],
The current administrator of [site-name] has updated the administration email address to your email address.
If you approve this change, please click on the following link to confirm the change:
https://example.com/wp-admin/options.php?adminhash=fcedb1537af41f16914d835e5d16d089
If you do not approve, you can safely ignore and delete this email.
This email has been sent to [email-address]
Regards,
All at [site-name]
[site-url]
Reasoning
- The email starts out with "You recently requested" when the person who initiated the email is not the same as the person that is receiving the email.
- It calls out "your site" and doesn't say which site it's referring to until the end. Some people manage many sites.
- "If this is correct, please click on the following link to change it" - Why would I change something that is correct? I understand it after thinking about it, but that's confusing.
- Using terminology like approve and do not approve clarify the call to action.

Related #43706.
It also proposes changes to the new email message. Ideally both changes would go in to the same release to avoid doubling up the work for translators.
