Global Menu settings are confusing

The terms "Main links" and "Secondary links" are very confusing. Especially as you definitely will mix it up with the terms "Main menu" and "Secondary menu" that stand for something different. We should think about a different naming. We left it for now.

The user has to immediately understand what those terms mean and where these menus appear on a page. A small descriptive graphic might help.

Screenshot for the changes that are in the patch

I thought Berend advocated that the advanced option was to be removed?

Reading the text on the screenshot, I'd say it is still very confusing. ;-)

Dries: Well, we opt for the Advanced option to be removed. But since this is a different patch (themes should pull out the secondary level from primary or secondary links themselves). But since this patch is not there (I think we have to create an issue for this) we left it in for now.

But maybe we should just throw it out - It could be enough if it is explained in the documentation somewhere.

We are planning to shoot this page dead.
"Default menu for new content" moved under content type editing in #351249: Finer control over the Parent Menu select box and "Source for the x" should go away in #503810: Convert primary and secondary menus to blocks

See the other issue.

@kika - you beat me to it in #11. By converting menus into blocks and adding finer control over the parent menu select box the global menu settings page can be dropped completely. This would be a huge win.

Can this issue be closed? admin/structure/menu and admin/structure/blocks are looking great.

It cannot be closed. The page admin/structure/menu should be removed after #1869476: Convert global menus (primary links, secondary links) into blocks.
