Description
We currently make use of a parameter value named normal
when working on dashboard widgets (e.g. https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/wp_add_dashboard_widget/). My assumption is that this refers to the default, left-hand column.
However, normal
is a problematic, exclusionary word. And, even away from that, in this case it doesn't make much sense. What makes the left hand side "normal".
I'd like us to change this - either to a literal column1
(which matches the column3
and column4
values, but would require us to change the value for the second column 2) or even just default
.
However, so as not to break anything, we would still allow normal
as a deprecated alternative.
