I think "What would you like to call your network?" would be a question, whereas "What you would like to call your network." is a statement.

Replying to Hanni:

I think you read the patch backwards; the patch changes "." to "?", which looks right to me (it should be a question).

Blerp, misread. Seems like Latz did the same, maybe this should be reworded?

"'What you would like to call this network" is the text included. It's not particularly friendly, though.

Aye, I hovered over it a few times on Sunday when editing the field below. The site title field in WP, not MultiSite doesn't even have a label, so I was in two minds about removing it, but then considered use on the network setup page. Will investigate.

There are some similar strings on Create a Network and Network Settings screens:

  • Network Title / Network Name
  • What would you like to call your network? / What you would like to call this network.
  • Admin E-mail Address / Network Admin Email

Perhaps we should merge them.

#9 follow-up: @rmccue

"What you would like to call this network." should probably be "This is what you would like to call this network."

"What you would like to call this network." should probably be "This is what you would like to call this network."

That sounds a bit like a Star Wars reference to me :)

#11 @Hanni

The "What would you like to call your Network?" string on network.php (Create a Network) arguably has a different purpose to the string on the Network Settings page.

Looking at WP, "Site Title" doesn't have a description on install.php or at options-general.php. So, I'd suggest either they could be removed on both for maximum consistency, or just on the settings.php page.

The other strings (Network Title/Name, and Email) could be merged though?

  • Keywords has-patch removed

OK, here's a possible patch which both removes the potentially superfluous description field on settings.php and edits the email string on network.php to be " Network Admin Email" so as to be consistent. Note keeping "Email" as opposed to "E-mail" as per current efforts in #26156.

26260.2.diff looks good to me.

In 26478:

Network Admin: Remove a superfluous description field and merge two similar strings.

props Hanni, SergeyBiryukov.
fixes #26260.
