Short description of error
With the Noise and White Noise Textures, sockets seem to be arranged differently from the other Texture nodes. For the White Noise Texture, one socket is named Value instead of Fac, unlike the others.
Choose either Fac or Value for everything.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
Open Shader Editor > add Texture nodes and compare.

I have to disagree. I'm not requesting for modified/improved behavior. Just swap the sockets. This is clearly an aesthetic/layout issue. An "error"

Well yes, and therefore it's not a bug.

I would do it if I was sure I won't break something, but I am not really familiar with node code. It may be just swapping 2 lines or it needs more changes. But I don't know on top of my head and don't want to research this right now.

I can only encourage you to send us patch if you can.
