Public bug reported:

Location: Pages and collections view

Summary
The term 'add' implies that something that already exists is being added to the user's profile. However in reality, when we click 'add', we are actually creating a page, or a collection/portfolio that didn't already exist.

As a new user, seeing the word 'add' creates some hesitancy, as we don't
have anything to add at that point. What we're trying to do is create
something new. When we open the menu we see a "Create" menu, when we
click 'Add' the heading of the modal says 'Create'.

Therefore, my proposal is that the word 'Add' in the button on the
'pages and collections' page be replaced with 'Create'.

I believe this is a simple change that will improve the usability of
Mahara.
