Issue #3414666: Improve unclear text on database update page

Ajinkya Walunjrequested to merge
issue/drupal-3414666:3414666-improve-text-on into 11.x

Problem

The text on the /update.php page includes an unclear instruction:

"Update your files (as described in the handbook page linked above)."

This wording is vague for users and points to an outdated handbook link from 2017. It also uses directional language ("linked above", "steps above") which is discouraged for accessibility.

Solution

  • Reworded the vague instruction to clearly describe what "update your files" means
  • Updated the handbook link to the current and maintained Drupal update guide
  • Improved the footer text to remove directional language and clarify what the user should do next

Files changed

  • core/modules/system/src/Controller/DbUpdateController.php
