Thank you for the PR. I think the term 'allow listing' would not be widely understood. In these specific sentences I think it will be read as meaning 'to allow the process of listing' rather than 'a list of things that are allowed'. Perhaps it would be better to reword the sentences rather than trying to find an appropriate synonym? |
I aimed to find some a synonym in order to be consistent with the original page content since the whole documentation is so well written. I also found "passlist" and "safelist" as alternatives. If you think one of these options is more appropriate, I can make the change. If the issue persists, I sure can try to rephrase. |

I've made some suggestions for how we might reword some of these.
Feel free to suggest an alternative wording if you prefer.

All fine by me. |
@joaomelo My first suggestion was marked as resolved but it doesn't seem to have been committed. If you're happy with it could you merge it in please? |

I thought I accepted. Can you check again now? |
Description of Problem
Inclusive language has gained importance by the growing awareness of language's effects on minorities' struggle for equality. Alternatives are substituting terms like blacklist, master, and slave with words without race connotation.
Proposed Solution
Changed occurrences of whitelisting to allow listing.
Additional Information
Did not change the reference in the link ".../src/globalsWhitelist.ts#L3" inside file "\src\guide\template-syntax.md" since it is a link to another repo. A change there will need to take place before or in sync.
