Support for Drupal 7 is ending on 5 January 2025—it’s time to migrate to Drupal 10! Learn about the many benefits of Drupal 10 and find migration tools in our resource center.This might be a minor issue but nevertheless :
Clicking on the "ADMINISTER" Menu I see following description:
Welcome to the administration section. Here you may control how your site functions.
Should this better say :
Welcome to the administration section. Here you may control how drupal.org site functions.

Comment #1
VM CreditAttribution: VM commentedat the very least it should probably read "how the site functions".
Comment #2
Wolfflow CreditAttribution: Wolfflow commented+1 yes another better description
Comment #3
add1sun CreditAttribution: add1sun commentedWell that message is part of Drupal core. I can't honestly see us changing that just for Drupal.org. If you can see it, then d.o is your site as much as anyone else's. :p If you believe that the message should be changed in Drupal core, generally for all sites, then this issue should be switched to the core Drupal project. If not, I'd say this is a won't fix for the webmaster queue. This isn't a docs issue at all.

Wolfflow CreditAttribution: Wolfflow commented@add1sun I agree with you: (It's not a Documentation Issue?),
but even we all love drupal.org and work volunteer and passionate on it, it's not ours and really I do continue to pledge for changing this, I like the Idea that Drupal.org is not only a community that handle and manage the development of Drupal itself, but it's also a place where we contact every Day great people and this is going to be more then only a Software development Community.
Every Day I learn how Drupal.org give me and others the possibility to exchange Ideas, Knowledge and not only about Drupal, but i discover more and more about Communication, Exchange of Idea, Suggestion on how to make this place better and I find that every suggestion to reflect this incredible democratic and creative place in changing (text, descriptions, etc.) what might be misunderstood and misused should a bit taken in consideration.
I myself spend hours in reading through the pages and look at every word that belongs typically to a special language group to provide a simple explanation. Is really not to aspect that every one knows the meaning about, we are a multi-language community and for this risk to be misunderstood is really great.(so like in this Issue)
You all know where I do this, What you think for? Because I love to learn to understand and help out that other understand better. This is my prior responsibility and I like to do that for me and the community.
So I don't think
is what I meant and @VeryMisunderstood have understand this. I don't think pricipally from the point of Drupal.core I just saw that is missleading reading
on Drupal.org.
So if this should be an issue for Drupal project I change this to. But what I basically read on Drupal.org is for me principally "DOCUMENTATION". What do you think?
Comment #5
VM CreditAttribution: VM commentedI think addi's point is that the message would have to be changed in drupal core and not just on the drupal.org itself. If changed in core, the change wouldn't have to be made every time drupal.org updates/upgrades.
This should be a fairly easy patch to create and put up for Drupal 7.x to see if others would be interested in the text change.
After reading addi's response, I agree that drupal.org is 'our' site. As documentation team members and site maintainers we have access to some administrative areas of drupal.org. Therefore the wording of the sentence does make sense in this regard. If we were not allowed on the administration side of drupal.org. We wouldn't see that message at all.
Comment #6
Dave ReidAn idea, the string could be changed to
t("...your site, %site-name, functions.", array('%site-name' => variable_get('site_name', 'Drupal'))). Looks like it will get the desired result for drupal.org, and help personalize each of our own sites.Comment #7
Wolfflow CreditAttribution: Wolfflow commented+1 for @Dave Reid's Idea
Comment #8
keith.smith CreditAttribution: keith.smith commentedI'm in favor of just removing that help text from the top of the /admin page. IMO, it adds little value to the page; it only adds noise to the signal.
Comment #9
keith.smith CreditAttribution: keith.smith commentedCorrect component.
