- Issue created by @mndonx
Currently, the Link Widget has help text by default that reads:
> Start typing the title of a piece of content to select it. You can also enter an internal path such as /node/add or an external URL such as https://example.com. Enter to link to the front page. Enter to display link text only. Enter to display keyboard-accessible link text only.
Often the link field is used in pieces (i.e., just the URL, for example), and if a user puts `` in there for some reason, it will not print the link text at all or sometimes it will break the page entirely, depending on the configuration. While the rest of the help text makes sense, this last scenario doesn't seem like it should be in there by default (but perhaps later added if indeed it is a use case.) The core help text is very hard to override, and I believe it can confuse site editors.
- Add a link field to a content type
- Click to add a new piece of that content
- Note the help text provided by default for the Link field
I would suggest a patch to remove that last line in the help text.
I'll provide a patch for this shortly.
