This is a bit of a pet peeve around Drupal 8's entity system, but by default, the display of transition state links to the state edit page (the entity's default page).
I fail to see the utility of this link for most users. I'd rather see a stronger treatment of moderation state, with some color / font changes for emphasis.
In the D7 version, we handled this in the Workbench Info block, which was yellow.

Crell commentedYep, we need to remove that. It's just an ER Field; we just need to change it to by default not display.

becw commentedSo, now only the moderation control can be displayed. Moderation states are still available in Views though, which is good. Merged and pushed.
