“The WordPress open source community cares about diversity. We strive to maintain a welcoming environment where everyone can feel included.”
With this commit, all occurrences of “whitelist” and “blacklist” (with the single exception of the `$new_whitelist_options` global variable) are removed. A new ticket has been opened to explore renaming the `$new_whitelist_options` variable (#50434).
Changing to more specific names or rewording sentences containing these terms not only makes the code more inclusive, but also helps provide clarity. These terms are often ambiguous. What is being blocked or allowed is not always immediately clear. This can make it more difficult for non-native English speakers to read through the codebase.
Words matter. If one contributor feels more welcome because these terms are removed, this was worth the effort.

Partially reverts [48059] as there's no full consensus on the removal of the text prefix. Further actions should be taken to improve consistency and accessibility of the admin notices. Keeps some improvements to the translatable strings from [48059].

The tag was supported in phpDocumentor 1.x, but is no longer supported in 2.x and 3.x.
Usage of static variables is considered an internal implementation detail and has no information value for someone reading the docs.

For a number of years, most of the WordPress error messages have been prefixed with "Error:". However, these messages appear in a context where it's already clear an error occurred. Whether it's an error, a warning, or any other classification, that's not so relevant for users. The content of the message is the relevant part. The "Error:" prefix doesn't add great value while it does add unnecessary complexity for the message readability.
Also, revises some of these messages to improve clarity and removes HTML from translatable strings.

Now that WordPress Core supports PHP >= 5.6, the PHPMailer library can be updated to the latest version.
The PHPMailer files now reside in a new directory, `wp-includes/PHPMailer`. These files are copied verbatim from the library upstream and will make updating in the future easier. For backwards compatibility, the old files will remain and trigger deprecated file warnings.
The PHPMailer class is also now under the `PHPMailer\PHPMailer\PHPMailer` namespace. The `PHPMailer` class in the global namespace has been aliased for a seamless transition.
This upgrade also clears up a handful of PHP compatibility issues detailed in #49922.
For a full list of changes, see the PHPMailer GitHub: https://github.com/PHPMailer/PHPMailer/compare/v5.2.27...v6.1.6.

Previously, the `@` operator was used to prevent possible warnings emitted by `parse_url()` in PHP < 5.3.3 when URL parsing failed.
Now that the minimum version of PHP required by WordPress is 5.6.20, this is no longer needed.

This avoids the performance overhead of the function call every time `dirname( __FILE__ )` was used instead of `__DIR__`.
This commit also includes:
* Removing unnecessary parentheses from `include`/`require` statements. These are language constructs, not function calls.
* Replacing `include` statements for several files with `require_once`, for consistency:
* `wp-admin/admin-header.php`
* `wp-admin/admin-footer.php`
* `wp-includes/version.php`

The brackets were originally added in [16285] per W3C recommendation in https://www.w3.org/Addressing/URL/5.1_Wrappers.html to avoid wrapping the URL across multiple lines in plain text in older email clients.
This doesn't seem like a common issue in modern email clients, and the current implementation causes more issues than it solves. Since the URL is on a line by itself, it should not require any delimiters.
The URL in recovery mode email introduced in [44973] doesn't have angle brackets, so it's time to retire them in password reset email too if they're not used consistently.

Redirects should use redirect status codes and if you attempt to call wp_safe_redirect or wp_redirect with a non redirect status it can lead to undesired behavior and head scratching.

* Add missing translator comments.
* Fix placement of some translator comments. Translator comments should be on the line directly above the line containing the translation function call for optimal compatibility with various `.pot` file generation tools. The CS auto-fixing, which changed some inconsistent function calls to multi-line function calls, is part of the reason why this was no longer the case for a select group of translator comments.
Includes minor code layout fixes.
Polyglots, rejoice! All WordPress core files now have translator comments for all strings with placeholders!

Noteable changes:
- The `magic_quotes_runtime` and `magic_quotes_sybase` settings were removed in PHP 5.4, so no longer need to be set.
- Some functions that use external libraries can generate errors that can't be tested for, so are globally allowed to silence errors.
- Quite a few functions would cause errors if `safe_mode` was set. This setting was removed in PHP 5.4.
- Only a handful of `header()` calls needed corresponding `headers_sent()` checks for unit tests to pass, but more may need to be added as the nightlies builds are tested.
