Problem/Motivation

The Comment module now includes the option to configure different comment types. This is not covered in the hook_help text.

Proposed resolution

Update the hook_help text.
Check the UI text on the Comments and Comment types administration pages and update them if necessary as well.

Remaining tasks

Update the hook_help text, and possibly the UI text as well

User interface changes

This is a UI text change.

API changes

None.

Data model changes

None.

Beta phase evaluation

Reference: https://www.drupal.org/core/beta-changes
Issue category Task because it is adding a missing part to the Help text.
Issue priority Minor

Disruption None

I'll be working on this today.

Apparently there is a usability issue #2496913: Don't expose entity types with string ids as a target option when creating comment types that hasn't been solved yet, even though I'm not quite sure whether this covers all of the problem.

Luckily, the issue mentioned above is of no concern to this issue.

I updated the help-text and added a use because the functionality was changed.

Thanks a lot for the patch - and for spending all the time with me to first find out how that part of the module even works :-)

This addition should save lots of sitebuilders a lot of time...

beta-evaluation added.

The UI text about adding Comment types on the administration pages looks correct.

Some random test failure. The added text looks good to me. +1.

Great to have this documented as this new feature might be confusing otherwise. The docs look good to me as well. Committed and pushed to 8.0.x.
