Come together with the global Drupal community in Rotterdam, 28 Sept – 1 Oct 2026. Sessions, contribution, connection, and Early Bird savings until 8 June.Problem
"Site information" description.
line 880 in system.module
In admin/config/system
1) Mission is no longer editable in Site information.
2) The description doesn't indicate all options.
Goal
Make it easier for the user to find specific tasks. Remove references to old functionality.
Details & Procedure
Under Site information - Remove the word 'mission'.
Old: Change basic site information, such as the site name, slogan, e-mail address, mission, front page and more.
New: Change basic site name, e-mail address, slogan, default front page, number of posts per page, error pages and cron.
Notes
The Site Information page is full of confusion. Why should default error pages be set here?? It is not 'information'. Information might include locale/date/time... but not 'number of posts per page'. This is a confusing editing page. And probably the last page an exasperated user ends up.

yoroy commentedAgree this is a weird mix of basic settings. We might want to move some of these around but for the time being, having the description sum up all things available here sounds fine.
