Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

WP PlugIndex currently records Machine Language version 0.3.2 as active, updated 10y ago and tested up to WordPress 4.4.
Overview
About this plugin
Toggles human and machine language (aka ID-s) on admin pages.
Only for development!
php.
It works only on WordPress Settings API-like formatted — not necessarily API generated — admin pages. g. <input> elements cannot be wrapped in <span>.
Activation
You can find the plugin’s checkbox in standard Screen Options (upper right corner). This checkbox could be overwritten — thus hidden — by poorly written plugins. php:
php' );
For example this line causes to run only on Settings / Reading.
Features
Basically all input ID-s are displayed in place of labels, actually for attributes of labels
select -s get a title showing all option values comma separated (hover over select -s with your mouse)
option -s get values appended in the form of “original option text|value”
Radio button labels will show: “name|value”
Descriptions ( p -s and span -s with “description” class) will be hidden, this way Machine Language will clean up all admin pages, descriptions are hidden by CSS, so there’s no FOUC
Other notes
-
select -s with empty values are not
The plugin’s checkbox in Screen Options is effective immediately
The code is designed as a must use plugin, so there is no separated Javascript or CSS file
State of Machine Language is saved as a user option so it is a per user setting
