Removed
To rearrange forums and containers, grab a drag-and-drop handle under the Name column and drag the forum or container to a new location in the list. (Grab a handle by clicking and holding the mouse while hovering over a handle icon.) Remember that your changes will not be saved until you click the Save button at the bottom of the page.
Because we shouldn't describe how an interaction works, instead it should be obvious from the interaction itself. Also the please click save is a bit overdone, with also the inline feedback of save.

keith.smith CreditAttribution: keith.smith commentedYes, this seems fine.
As an aside, all this "grab a handle" business was put in at the last possible second of the Drupal 6 string freeze, because this was, then, a new interaction and we weren't certain that people would immediately grasp it, pun intended. But, it seems to have turned out fairly self-explanatory, so there's no need to have the additional text.
Comment #2
eigentor CreditAttribution: eigentor commentedNot bad, but we could be more noob-compatible, and even much shorter.
How about:
"All forums on your page. You can put forums into containers to group them."
No need to talk about topics and threads here: this should be on the thread list.
Comment #3
Dries CreditAttribution: Dries commented@eigenator: do you mean "All forums on you site" (instead of page)?
Comment #4
Dries CreditAttribution: Dries commentedCommitted to CVS HEAD. Thanks!
Comment #5
eigentor CreditAttribution: eigentor commented@Dries yes. All forums on your site. :)
Though the other version is already comitted, I'd like to give it a shot with the as-short-as-possible one.
Comment #6
eigentor CreditAttribution: eigentor commentedDarn, the last one had "page". This one has "site"
Comment #7
eigentor CreditAttribution: eigentor commentedAnd once more because of double hyphens...
It's a real drag that it is not possible to edit or remove attachments on issues in your own comments.
Comment #9
eigentor CreditAttribution: eigentor commentedO.K. this could not work, because the other patch was applied before. New attempt.
This is the description now:
"All forums on your site. You can put forums into containers to group them."

Bojhan CreditAttribution: Bojhan commentedI think you should be able to catch it into one nicely flowing sentence, its to much a "two" thing sentence now. One does not need to explain what this page holds, merely the main concept it is for.

Comment #17
eigentor CreditAttribution: eigentor commentedRe-rolled it to make it even shorter and by removing unneeded words. Pattern: "For example, a Forum named Fruit" becomes "A forum named Fruit"
Patch and screenshots.
Comment #18
eigentor CreditAttribution: eigentor commentedRerolled, changed "Set content types to use on the Forum vocabulary page"
to "Select content types to use in Forums on the Forum vocabulary page"
Updated the link to that page. And - er - sometimes the controls to choose content types are missing on that page...

yoroy CreditAttribution: yoroy commentedNo idea how to fix tests.
Comment #27
yoroy CreditAttribution: yoroy commentedOr maybe I do.
Comment #28
yoroy CreditAttribution: yoroy commentedwoohoo! Now needs review of #21 by humans.
Comment #29
redndahead CreditAttribution: redndahead commentedLooking over the code it looks good. Nice change.
Comment #30
webchickCould we avoid silly, nonsensical examples? There is no one on this earth, even Martha Stewart, who is going to name forum categories Fruit and Vegetables and forums Apples and Bananas.
How about describing more "real world" sample forum containers/forums? You know, like these! http://drupal.org/forum
For example, categories of "General" and "Support", and "General" may contain forums such as "News and Announcements" and "General Discussion".
Comment #31
webchickOn the other hand, that Fruit/Vegetables and Apple/Bananas example might be very nice in the help text/help page for Taxonomy.
Comment #32
yoroy CreditAttribution: yoroy commentedOk, removed examples in this patch.
Comment #33
webchickGreat! Even fewer words. :)
Committed to HEAD.
