 Starting fresh as #31779 is rather long. This may involve copy changes,
 links, and Codex/Handbook writing.

 Admin interstitial copy from first commit:

 == Plugin editor ==

 === Heads up! ===

 You appear to be making direct edits to your plugin in the WordPress
 dashboard. We recommend that you don’t! Editing plugins directly introduce
 incompatibilities that break your theme or other plugins, and can leave
 you unable to log back in to WordPress and undo changes.

 If you absolutely have to edit this plugin, create copy with a new name
 and hang on to the original version, so you can re-enable a functional
 version if something goes wrong.

 == Theme editor ==

 === Heads up! ===

 You appear to be making direct edits to your theme in the WordPress
 Dashboard. We recommend that you don’t! Editing this code directly is
 dangerous, and can leave you unable to log back in to WordPress and undo
 changes. There’s no need to change your CSS here — you can edit and live
 preview CSS changes in WordPress’s [built in CSS editor](customizer deep
 link).

 If you decide to go ahead with direct edits anyway, make sure to back up
 all your site’s files before making changes so you can restore a
 functional version if something goes wrong.
