Maybe it is time to rename the Chat Template?

I'm writing a book about my notes for training LORA and QLORA and preparing datasets for different scenarios with WebUI at the center and boy this part is CONFUSING to describe in relation to everybody else.

It's confusing, because everyone else calls the WebUI "Instruct" template "Chat Template" so I bet more than one person is confused what Chat / Instruct means.

I suggest renaming the "Chat Template" and anything related to it as RP or Role Play, because THAT'S WHAT IT IS and basically abandon the Instruction word and call it Chat Template, because THAT'S WHAT IT IS.

It's now commonly used that the role based template user/assistant is Chat Template and what you do with them is "Chat"

So in JINJA Parameters screen we will have Chat Template on left and RP Template on right

On the Chat Window we will have 3 modes

[RP], [RP-Chat] and [Chat (instruct)]

We might call the Chat (instruct), just for now until everyone gets used to it.

I feel this will be far LESS confusing. I get it why it is like that, but Chat is no longer what everyone think of Chat. Let's call spade spade, it is Role Play.

What do you think?
