Problem/Motivation

The wording of the help text for URL alias when creating a node (add content > page or aerticle, then click the URL alias tab) is overdone. It should be simplified and clarified.

Proposed resolution

Simplify the wording to
The alternative URL for this content. For example, type "about" when creating an about page. Use a relative path without a trailing slash.

Remaining tasks

patch needs to be created.

User interface changes

Help text for URL alias setting on node/add/* should be
The alternative URL for this content. For example, type "about" when creating an about page. Use a relative path without a trailing slash.

API changes

none

Yeppers, I agree it's too wordy. If not clear, you can find this text by going to add new content to the site (like a page or article) then scroll down and click the URL path settings tab. +1 to the new wording.
