We've been overdue for a clean up of the Experiments page. This PR gets that started and covers a few text changes.

What?

Updates to the Gutenberg > Experiments page.

Why?

The current experiments were each written individually, without a lot of points of connection even if multiple experiments touch on the same area of work, like data views. My hope is that by adding clarity, we can encourage more folks to safely explore experiments.

How?

  • Groupings like Blocks, Data Views, and Collaboration to better understand experiments and how they connect.
  • Periods at the end of each sentence for descriptions (details matter!).
  • Shared language across each description with “enables” and “disables” language for clarity.
  • Clearer and more robust descriptions and titles.
  • Organized in alphabetical order to make it easier to skim.
  • Adds clarity around Site Editor specific experiments in the descriptions.

This is great :)

I think in the future we may even want to take a look at adding separate section headings in between the various groups. But that can easily be a follow up.

I also wonder if at some point we could / should use this settings page here as an experiment in itself to try out our data form and new admin design for settings pages 😂

Specifically thinking about these designs here:

That's a great idea! Let's keep it in mind going forward.

Thank you for reviewing, fixing, and getting this merged.

Thanks @annezazu for taking the time to revamp the list of Experiments.
I am also intrigued by @fabiankaegy's idea of using modern Dataview designs for a next iteration.
