I got this question from a library: "I want to use the Batch Record Deletion tool. It asks for the "record number". Is that the same as the biblionumber? If not, which number is needed?" We should be consistent in language and call it biblionumber not record number so that there isn't this kind of confusion.
I think the term was chosen because we can also delete authorities with the tool. Maybe "biblionumber or authority number"?
That's fine with me, we just need to be clear for those using the system. Nicole

I need another pov here, "record number" is used in the legend of the fieldset on the same page. Moreover, it is also used on the "Batch record modification" page.

When you're talking about modifying a 'record' that makes sense. But there is no 'record number' in Koha - there is biblionumber and/or authority id. So when people see 'record number' they're confused about what they're supposed to put there. Nicole

This patch only affects 1 tool (deletion), to be consistent I propose to make the same change for the other one (modification).
