Either provide a link for the "Administration" section or make sure we don't reference it. #627

Open klonos opened 9 years ago

This is a spin-off from #606...

We seem to have had at least one reference to the Administration section as part of navigational instructions (for example "go to Administer >> Structure >> Layouts"), but we don't have any "Administer" or "Administration" link anywhere in the UI*.

So we should do any of the things below:

  1. make sure we don't point people to an "Administer" or "Administration" section in the first place
  2. provide one such link someplace (admin_bar perhaps?)
  3. Make it a standard throughout the UI to use direct links instead of pointing people using paths. So, instead of for example saying: "go to Administer >> Structure >> Layouts" we should say go to the Layouts administration page"
    • For the record, we do have the /admin and /admin/index pages + a "Administration" link in the breadcrumb, but that assumes people will have breadcrumbs enabled in their admin theme.

I think that proposal 3 was part of a Drupal UX enhancement goal called "connect the dots" or something.
