 Replying to [comment:8 nacin]:
 > Also, sticky posts *are* always on the front page, so that part isn't
 inaccurate either. Even if posts_per_page is 10, if you have 11 sticky
 posts, they'll all display.
 I think the issue here is that the user may have a static front page, in
 which case "Stick this post to the front page" is inaccurate. Themes also
 do special things with sticky posts sometimes (Twenty Fourteen, even), so
 we should keep it as generic as possible. I would call that an edge case,
 but the default theme does it out-of-the-box (where, incidentally, the
 "front page" statement is valid). In fact the best solution might be to
 lose some clarity and go with "Make this post sticky", since "sticky" can
 mean different things in different themes (although the general idea is
 almost always the same).
