When performing a fresh install of Drupal, the main heading states "Welcome to < site name >" where the site name can be anything from "Bobs Burgers" to "Drush Site Install". This seems kind of clunky and awkward to me, because the text below talks about Drupal (as opposed to the site).
I propose to change it to simply "Welcome!"

longwaveThis is a nice simplification but I wonder if we should remove the other exclamation mark on the "Congratulations" line if we are adding one here, it looks a bit shouty with one on both lines.

mherchelMakes sense to me. I'm going to bring it to the UX meeting on Friday #3279239: Drupal Usability Meeting 2022-05-13

libbna commentedI have reviewed and it LGTM. Added screenshots.

mherchelNightwatch tests are failing (maybe we check for that text?)
Also, can we add a period after "Congratulations and welcome to the Drupal community" ?
Also, we're taking this to the UX meeting tomorrow, so there may be more changes.

mherchelI brought this to the Drupal UX meeting at #3279239: Drupal Usability Meeting 2022-05-13. There was unanimous consensus to making the the heading say "Welcome!", and swapping out the exclamation point with a period for the "Congratulations and welcome to the Drupal community" text.

mherchelChanges from the most recent MR look perfect! The tests are green and I manually tested this out. Thank you @vighnesh-sadagopal!
Comment #26
lauriiiSince this is a significant user facing change, I think it would be good to have a sign-off from the product managers on this.
Comment #27
gábor hojtsyI think this looks fine. Less "Welcome to drush site-install" :D I agree depending on the site name used, there could be awkard combinations.
