MDN URL

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Iterator/map

What specific section or headline is this issue about?

Return value

What information was incorrect, unhelpful, or incomplete?

Throughout the article the term "iterator helper" is used for the returned iterator

What did you expect to see?

The map method returns an iterator, not iterator helper.

Do you have any supporting links, references, or citations?

The page hyperlinks "iterator helper" to https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Iterator#iterator_helpers, which defines "iterator helpers" as the set of methods on iterators, not the iterator itself. This is inconsistent.

Do you have anything more you want to share?

A similar problem occurs on other pages on iterator helpers, like filter, drop, take,...etc.
