Problem/Motivation
The description of a module on the Extend page, describes what the module does.
Not all module descriptions on the Extend page follow the common format, as described in the Help text standard.
In addition, module descriptions were reviewed and changed for Drupal 8, The module description on the Extend page, should follow the wording on the module's help page because these have been reviewed previously.
In general, "user" should be used to describe something that a user - with whatever role and appropriate permissions - can do, because we can't preempt what roles exist on site. The main point is to separate this from other modules, that don't result in users doing something.
Proposed resolution
Change the descriptions in the modules .info.yml files for the stable modules so that they are correct, consistent, and follow the same format.
Following comment #114, these descriptions of modules where the help text has been changed, are to go into a separate issue #3060616: Update the module descriptions on the Extend page to fit the Help texts
Experimental modules should have their own issues assigned because their functionality is still changing too much to hold up this issue in general.
Remaining tasks
- Split the existing patch into two, so that this only includes changes to the structure of the sentence, but no new wording.
.
Several modules were added to core in later versions since this issue was started (see #101 Media, Settings tray, Workflow, Datetime range, Migrate, Field layout, Layout builder, Media library and Workspace). If necessary these are fixed in separate issues to avoid further issue creep.
