New description:

 if using the standard archive.php page, the common function for getting
 archive page name (e.g. single_tag_title) or description (e.g.
 tag_description) do not work - the best now is to use
 get_queried_object()->name resp. get_queried_object()->description

 Also it is not obvious, that when you create a custom post type and
 taxonomy (with public=true) they are not visible on menu navigation page -
 you must make them visible using the top View menu (it took me a while to
 realize it)

Comment:

 Nevermind, I see there already is a 'description' arg.
