 * keywords:  has-screenshots has-patch => has-screenshots has-patch 2nd-
     opinion


Comment:

 The current string is consistent with the other [source:tags/5.2.1/src/wp-
 admin/plugins.php?marks=547-551,556-568#L544 plugin action messages]:
 * `The selected plugin(s) have been <strong>deleted</strong>.`
 * `Plugin <strong>activated</strong>.`
 * `Selected plugins <strong>activated</strong>.`
 * `Plugin <strong>deactivated</strong>.`
 * `Selected plugins <strong>deactivated</strong>.`

 However, similar [source:tags/5.2.1/src/wp-
 admin/themes.php?marks=203,207,212,220#L195 theme action messages] don't
 have the markup:
 * `Settings saved and theme activated.`
 * `New theme activated.`
 * `Theme deleted.`

 These are some of the oldest strings in WordPress (`Plugin
 <strong>activated</strong>` was introduced in [1071]; `New theme
 activated` was introduced in [1655]), and it looks like they have always
 been like this.

 For consistency, we should probably remove the markup from all these
 plugin messages, unless anyone can think of a good reason to keep it.
