Description Caroline Cyr La Rose 2025-03-25 20:42:29 UTC
Bug 38979 changed "cardnumber" to "card number". We should change the instances in the manual also.

*Note that if this refers to the database column, it should stay "cardnumber".

Here are the occurrences (if you have a local copy of the manual, you can do `git grep "cardnumber"` and it will find all the occurrences of the string in all the files). NOTE: I have not filtered the results! Some should stay as is.
