Description

Excerpts are used in different ways by different post types. The explanatory text below the textarea should be filterable to allow plugin authors to provide details relevant to their implementation.

Thanks for the patch!

The new filter needs to be documented as per the ​documentation standards.

The Excerpt meta box and the explanation string are only available in Classic Editor, which should not have many enhancements now.

Also, editing the text is technically possible already with the ​'gettext' hook. I made an ​example function to replace the text, without a link.
