Description
A query can be saved and edited using the Save query and Edit query buttons on the bottom of the query page. However, the form for saving and editing a query has the fieldset title Modify Report and submit button label Save report. We should change the labels to avoid confusion (gmessage:trac-users:czgnJSRqzkw/xcgBBd2yAQAJ).

Most users are wholly unfamiliar with the term 'query'. If the choice is among the two, then prefer to use 'report'.

Committed to trunk in [14453].
The following cases exist:
However, in any of the cases, the text that is entered in the Query box could be SQL or a Query string. The most ambiguous will be Create report from the
/report
page. The user could reasonably be intending to create either a Report or Query.We could avoid some of the ambiguity be using the term Query everywhere in place of Report, but that might also confuse the issue just as much. I'm okay with using the term Report to refer to a saved custom query, but some users seem to be confused by that. Perhaps it's because historically a report has been saved SQL.
I've prepared some changed in log:rjollos.git:t12266_query_labels. I'll give some more thought to the changes and add tests if they are to be committed.
