 In `wp-config.php`, in the "For developers" section, we have:
 {{{
     define( 'WP_DEBUG', false );
 }}}
 I suggest we also add:
 {{{
 define( 'WP_DEBUG_LOG', true );
 define( 'WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY', false );
 define( 'SCRIPT_DEBUG', true );
 }}}
 This would mean that changing the value of `WP_DEBUG` to `true` would
 enable the log file but not the display, while making it easy to enable
 the display.

 I've been a WordPress developer for many years. This is the first ticket
 I've created. I'm a proponent of good defaults. I occasionally change the
 value of `WP_DEBUG`, but then need to disable it so that I can use the
 WordPress dashboard without scrolling through a list of errors and warning
 from third party themes and plugins.

 And to be honest, I never opened the `@link` to
 https://codex.wordpress.org/Debugging_in_WordPress

 Thanks for considering this enhancement!
