 Replying to [comment:2 helen]:
 > * The theme editor should also talk about child themes. This was in
 Michelle's original text when there was a split between template and CSS
 files proposed.

 Let's cut the text about CSS here, and add it as an additional notice that
 appears on .css files, like in
 https://core.trac.wordpress.org/attachment/ticket/31779/WF%20-%20CSS%20Warning.png.
 Then we can replace that text with some copy about child themes.

 > * The text in each about creating a copy/backup probably needs to link
 off to more docs somewhere, since you can't do that in the admin by
 default.

 Which do you think is better, linking to
 https://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_Backups or
 https://wordpress.org/plugins/search/backups/?

 > * "break your theme or other plugins" could probably be reduced down to
 "your site", since that's the effect that's felt.

 👍

 > * Does anything need to be altered given that the code editors have
 linting and sandboxing now? That's new since the copy was first written.

 Folks are still able to introduce plugin or theme conflicts, but
 *hopefully* now you can't whitescreen your site... so we should probably
 adjust the text to reflect that.

 > * This needs small screen consideration :)

 Fixed in https://core.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/41854.
