admin/content/types has help text. It could possibly use additional text, it's a bit light on the detail.
content type edit pages are still missing help text.

Title: Add missing help text for node.module » Add help text to node_help() for configuring content types
Version: 7.x-dev » 8.x-dev
Component: node.module » documentation

As this would be a change to strings, I believe that this would need to be changed in D8.

Also, changing to the documentation component, as this is a documentation change.

These should not be in the documentation component, which is for API documentation. Trying to figure out where they should be:

The original link http://lists.drupal.org/archives/drupal-docs/2005-04/msg00008.html is broken.

The D7 path is now admin/structure/types . Adding

function node_help($path, $arg) {
...
    case 'admin/structure/types':
      return '<p>' . t('Bla.') . '</p>';

does not show this help. I guess hook_help is not invoked on these pages. Testing on 'node/%/edit' and 'node/add/' content-type fails too. My workaround here was by adding a hook_form_alter to my template.php like

  if (strpos($form_id, '_node_form')) {
    $form['help'] = array(
      '#type' => 'markup',
      '#prefix' => '<div class="node-help">',
      '#markup' => menu_get_active_help(),
      '#suffix' => '</div>',
      '#weight' => -10,
    );
  }

menu_get_active_help is hardly used so I'm not sure how the help plumbing should work.

I hope to return to this issue later :(

Status: Active » Closed (outdated)

I think everything here is covered in the experimental Help Topics Module, which is on it ways to stability. #3027054: Help Topics module roadmap: the path to beta and stable

I think it is safe to close this as outdated.
