Now that I actually have a vocabulary of my own, these pages make a lot 
more sense.  ;)

So, everything (except configure specific node types) has text, but is 
it good text?  It's a little hard to tell with everything on it's own 
page, so I will put it all together here. (I don't want to change the 
wiki that drastically.  ^.^)

Sorry about the non-plaintext thing, it was going to be really hard to 
read otherwise.  I have added all sorts of comments to the wiki:
http://dev.bryght.com/t/wiki/HelpText

Right now, just looking at it, I notice a lack of consistency in the 
starting line, some start with Edit X here, some start with You can edit 
X here, and some are This is the page to edit X.

****************************************

user.module
- "?q=admin/access/rules":
Access Type 	Rule type 	Mask
deny 	email address 	%
allow 	email address 	%@example.com

Explanation of above: it denies all email addresses, except it allows 
any email address that ends with @example.com but has something before 
it (Drupal will deny invalid email addresses anyway, so there's no need 
to check in the access rules if there is at least one character before 
the "@").

  o 'add rule'
Choose whether the rule you are adding allows a user to sign up or 
denies them access, then which piece of information to base the rule on.

  o 'check rules'
 You can check to see if the rules you made work the way you intended here.

- "?q=user/1/edit"
Edit %username's settings here.  Among other things, you can block this 
user, grant additional roles, or change the account password.

taxonomy.module
- "?q=admin/taxonomy":
The taxonomy module allows you to classify content into categories and 
subcategories; it allows multiple lists of categories for classification 
(controlled vocabularies) and offers the possibility of creating 
thesauri (controlled vocabularies that indicate the relationship of 
terms) and taxonomies (controlled vocabularies where relationships are 
indicated hierarchically). To delete a term choose "edit term". To 
delete a vocabulary, and all its terms, choose "edit vocabulary".

  o 'edit vocabulary'
Configure your vocabulary here. You can change the title, description, 
help text, which node types can use this vocabulary, as well as the 
vocabulary structure. (link to ?q=admin/help/taxonomy) Read more about 
the configuration options.

  o 'add term'
Add a term to the %vocabname vocabulary.  Go back to the categories 
settings (link to admin/taxonomy).

  o 'edit term'
Edit this term. You can change the name, description, synonyms, and 
weight of this term in its vocabulary.

  o 'preview form'.
This page shows you how this vocabulary will actually look on a 
submission form.


comment.module
- "?q=admin/comment/list/approval"
This is the moderation queue for comments. You can approve or delete 
comments posted by your users with 'post comments' permission. If you 
want to have your users post comments without going through the 
moderation queue, you have to enable the 'post comments without 
approval' permission (link to permissions). ... More help (link to 
comment help)

node.module
- "?q=admin/node/configure/types"

This page lets you set the defaults used during creation of nodes for 
all the different node types.

    * comment: Read/write setting for comments.
    * publish: make this post live and viewable by everyone
    * promote: promote the node to the front page automatically
    * moderate: place the node in the submission queue for approval
      before publishing
    * sticky: make this node "stick" at the top of lists (i.e. front
      page, forum threads, etc.)
    * revision: create a new revision every time the node is edited

Regular end users will not be able to change any of these options unless 
they have "administer node" permission? 
<http://dev.bryght.com/t/wiki/PermissionAdminNode>.

If upload.module is enabled

If you want users to be able to attach files to nodes, check the 
attachments column in the appropriate column.

  o and every 'configure' page for a certain node/post type
(no text.  Please add some! )


book.module
- "?q=admin/node/book/$node->id"
You can view, edit, or delete individual pages here. You can also change 
the position of individual pages in a book by using weights.

Weight is how the ordering of lists is controlled in Drupal. The lower 
the value (including negative) an item has, the higher it is positioned. 
The higher the value, the lower it is positioned. Confused? Think of 
gravity: light things float, heavy things sink.

If weights are equal, the default ordering is alphabetical by node 
title. So, if you were to leave every page in a book outline set to a 
weight of zero (0), the pages would alphabetical from A to Z, based on 
their title.

forum.module
- "?q=admin/forum/configure"
This is where you can configure how all your forums act and display.

statistics.module
- "?q=admin/logs/pages"
These are the pages with the most hits over the past 3 days.
 
- "?q=admin/logs/users"
These are the users who are on your site the most, as measured by the 
number of hits. Change the sort by clicking on hits or user.

menu.module
- "?q=admin/menu"
Select an operation from the list to move, change, or delete a menu item.

   o choose the 'edit' operation for a certain menu-item;
Edit the menu link to %path. You can change the name, description, 
parent, and weight of this menu item here.
