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.As a followup to #506316: Remove description on term name, /admin has worthless descriptions on some of the headings. These at least need to have real descriptions or just drop them off altogether.

Bojhan CreditAttribution: Bojhan commentedI am thinking the same, getting people to just go to the links is probably more worthwhile for them.

deekayen CreditAttribution: deekayen commentedI kind of liked the EOT version because it kept the newline formatting in tact. You only need one space between $output and the assignment operator. The concat dot should have spaces on both sides of it in Drupal 7. I think the report and user descriptions might be slightly helpful and could stay. What does the CSS modification accomplish?

Dave ReidWould be nice to see a brief screenshot since we're changing the presentation.

catchWas going to open an issue for this, but Bojhan pointed me to this one. new patch + screenshot.
Comment #9
JuliaKM CreditAttribution: JuliaKM commentedThis patch applies cleanly and successfully removes the rather pointless descriptions on yoursite.com/admin. Attaching before and after screenshots for the Structure section in case anyone wants to see a specific example.
Comment #10
webchickThanks, Julia. I wasn't sure what this patch did before your helpful screenshots. :)
If we're not printing these anymore, does it mean we should get rid of the 'description' field on menu items, or does that have other uses elsewhere?

Dries CreditAttribution: Dries commentedI support not printing those messages.
Comment #12
Bojhan CreditAttribution: Bojhan commentedIt has uses on other places, I asked this catch as well.
Comment #13
catchDescription is used for the 'title' attribute when hovering over a menu, so no go there.
