Just updating this to include the comments from community members in
response to my forum post on October 22, 2021:

"Just a quick comment to say yes I'm completely in favour of the
concept. Anything that clarifies the purpose of a button or feature and
gives people a more instinctive understanding of how to do things can
only be good, and sometimes simple changes like expressly saying "go to
your portfolio pages" or "create new content" can have a surprisingly
big impact. Please keep the suggestions coming!"

"Just to say I agree - both suggestions are a great step forward!
Perhaps it could coincide with a rethink of what's on the Dashboard too?
The 'Create' tile takes you to your 'Pages and Collections' page."

Title:
  UX/IA: Change 'Add' button to 'Create' on 'Pages and collections'
  overview page

Status in Mahara:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Follow-on from bug #1946291

  Location: 'Pages and collections' overview page

  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.
