Problem/Motivation

This issue is to execute #3159848: [Policy] Always install Drupal with Standard on the UI, pared down of use case specific elements (content types, node listing, commenting, theme), reasons explained there.

Steps to reproduce

Proposed resolution

Not in the Standard profile but a "Standard" behaviour that we want to change even for "Minimal" sites. Unfortunately must be done before Olivero is not enabled anymore, so this is the current highest priority.

Remaining tasks

Open a followup discussion about the future of the minimal install profile / recipe which will be hidden from the UI at least following this issue, but still available.

User interface changes

  • A regular Drupal install will not prompt you for an install profile selection anymore.
  • The default Drupal experience resulting from this install will not have assumptions about your use case (content types, commenting setup, node listing, frontend theme).
  • Instead the default Drupal frontend experience will be suggesting next steps to pick a theme based on your use case. A compelling backend setup will be provided to configure the site on the UI (without assumptions of the use case that you need to undo).

Updates issue summary with status. The two issues left for main are: #3572350: Disable the default /node listing view, replace Olivero hardcoded welcome page from /node with welcome message first so that we have a welcome message even without Olivero present. Then #3590882: Standard profile should not include Olivero anymore, should provide guidance on how to get started. Those two would complete this issue I believe on main due to #3520028: Remove support for selecting install profiles via the UI installer just landing and the rest of the Standard simplifications landed on main already.

I added a child issue, which is for adding an extension to Standard. This may be the wrong parent, but this one is adjusting what is in Standard, so here it is.
