Support for Drupal 7 is ending on 5 January 2025—it’s time to migrate to Drupal 10! Learn about the many benefits of Drupal 10 and find migration tools in our resource center.Problem/Motivation
The explanation texts on the Configuration page invite the user to do something, for example to manage or configure something.
In some cases, extensive reviewing of the hook_help text of a module has come up with explanations of Uses that are more to the point then the existing link descriptions, or that can just be shorter.
Proposed resolution
Change the descriptions in the *links.menu.yml files that they are correct, consistent, and follow a common format.
Remaining tasks
Update the link descriptions for those that are just small tweaks to improve the readability.
User interface changes
This are UI text changes.
API changes
None.
Data model changes
None.

Comment #2
ifrikI've shortened the descriptions for the Image and Statistics module where less words work just as well
Comment #3
jhodgdonifrik says we should credit: mairi, snehi, rachel_norfolk for this patch as well as herself
These two changes both look fine to me. Thanks!

jhodgdonhttps://groups.drupal.org/node/484788 Apparently this needs to be "rc deadline" because it changes translatable UI text strings
Comment #9
jhodgdonPatch does not apply any more. Another commit apparently changed the Statistics link description to:
Configure the logging of content statistics.
which is pretty much what this patch does, but better. So, here's a patch for just the other hunk.

Bojhan CreditAttribution: Bojhan commentedI am not sure, we are losing the examples here which is what gives context. Now we are just repeating the title a bunch of times.
Comment #11
jhodgdonWell that is a good point. In that case, I think we should just leave this as it was.
