Issue status update for http://drupal.org/node/20760 Project: Drupal Version: cvs Component: base system Category: tasks Priority: normal Assigned to: stefan nagtegaal Reported by: stefan nagtegaal Updated by: stefan nagtegaal Status: patch Attachment: http://drupal.org/files/issues/helptext-removal.diff (89.03 KB) I know of you guys are falling from their chair when seeing this patch, but... The attached patch removes all long helptexts which are used by the help.module to display them. I - and i know there are more people who thinks about that the same way - believe that, with a good CMS these kind of very long helptexts are not needed. I would prefer to improve the short helptexts on top of every page, instead of these longer versions. The documentation team already started to improve these short texts, to reflect what people could do on a certain page.. Another reason to delete these helptexts was that there were almost none of the translators who translated them. I'm not sure if that is because the text is too large, or the info is outdated.. But, i think it would be better to remove these...
