This commit updates the descriptions used for templates to be more clear and direct, and add context when necessary.

Afterwards, it'd be really neat if we can make some things contextual to whether other templates are set. For example, showing what things a template applies to based on what other templates exist. We can use the sidebar to more clearly illustrate those relationships.

Love it, vast improvement. Much clearer.

There's one typo that needs fixing, and I left a bunch of optional tweaks. But big improvement.

Is the term "entry" valuable here? We might be able to do without that word entirely.

It's to somehow differentiate from the single-post case.

I think we should remove the single-post from the default set, actually.

It is also important to clarify that the template can display post types other than post, which comes in to play whenever a CPT is registered.

In fact this is the reason that single-post was included as well. It's explicit nature means we can enable folks to intuitively add a template just for posts which will likely be a common use case. There is a dedicated template for Pages, it makes sense for there to be a dedicated template for Posts as well, imo.

I don't think that would be very intuitive. Pages are a special case when it comes to templates in WP. I don't think I have seen major themes that use single-post. Almost always you want to capture as many single post type entities as possible with it, and discriminate pages, which are not chronological.

If a custom post type requires a special treatment, it makes sense for that to be created specifically.

"single post type" suggests some CPT action going on. I wonder if we can do without "type"?
