I can understand someone getting confused when they first click on it; and any of the suggested name changes sound pretty logical. But, how does someone click on that, then select deletion or merge to some other request type, enter text and then click submit without realizing 'This probably wasn't a download link'
They probably go there thinking it's the only way to "request a file". Once they're there, they have difficulty choosing between "deletion", "merge", and "orphan". They don't want to proceed, but they know of no other way to request that file :-). So, they randomly choose one of those options and send their unrelated request away. Essentially, they only proceed because they think the AUR doesn't have an inbuilt file requesting facility. I think people would be surprised at just how often this happens. Less than a fortnight ago, someone else did the same thing with another of my packages. That guy filed both deletion and orphan requests with the following comments: * Deletion: "Hi, Can anybody provide me this package ? Git not found. Use for bcm4312 . Thanx" * Orphan: "L can't find this package , can you upload it somebody ? Thanx" I liken this problem to that of gun laws in the US. If nothing is done about them, the mass shootings will continue. Similarly, if "File Request" isn't at least changed to "File a Request", the occasional Arch newbie will annoy/worry package maintainers with these bogus requests. Still, according to the Gospel of Mark, it doesn't need to be changed because *he* has no trouble interpreting the meaning of the link in its current form.
