When setting up Discourse for the first time, users go through a wizard. This wizard contains two questions that are virtually identical:
> **Describe your community in one short sentence**
> …
> **Describe your community in few words**
There is no context offered, like where exactly each string will appear. I wonder how many admins just add the same sentence twice.
The wizard itself is very minimalist and polished. Kudos! This kind of double question is the only confusing point. Not a dealbreaker and probably this is something that most of us forget because we just want to have our new Discourse up & running. Still, if there is a perfectionist in charge of this wizard, I think there is room for improvement here. Clearer sentences explaining what is each sentence for might suffice.

Not in the wizard I just completed? (DigitalOcean droplet)
And in any case, it’s not that the examples provided make it very clear what’s the different use of each sentence.

Yes, but first-time Discourse admins don’t know this at that point. Out of the box experience is important. It’s a detail, and it could be improved.

In the start, I also found this confusing, but as I learned where each description was used, it made it clearer. Would adding some context as to where the description is used be any helpful? cc: [@community](https://meta.discourse.org/groups/community)

The strings already exist, and they could just replace the ones in the wizard (for an easy solution that would keep translations intact):
```plaintext
-- Describe your community in one short sentence
++ Describe this site in one sentence, as used in the meta description tag.
-- Describe your community in few words
++ Short description, as used in the title tag on homepage.
```

it is an easy change, just need to get someone on the team to sign it off

Thank you so much for the quick and positive response at all levels!
The new strings are as short and well descriptive as it gets.
