Problem/Motivation
The help text for creating URL Aliases during node creation is confusing and wordy. This leads to users entering the wrong path.
Proposed resolution
Proposed simplified text: The alternative URL for this content. For example, type "about" when creating an about page. Use a relative path without a trailing slash.
Remaining tasks
A patch needs to be written changing the text.
User interface changes
Changes the help text on the node creation form.
API changes
No changes.

Current:
Optionally specify an alternative URL by which this content can be accessed. For example, type "about" when writing an about page. Use a relative path and don't add a trailing slash or the URL alias won't work.

Tanvish Jha CreditAttribution: Tanvish Jha commentedYes, indeed the wording is pretty confusing. You can find this text by clicking on the'Add-content' button, create an article, scroll to the bottom of the page, and finally open the URL aliases tab. The help text is located below the input field and for further clarification, I have also attached a screenshot of it.
