Description

Enhanced missing information of Codex for add_help_tab() in wp-admin/includes/class-wp-screen.php:

  • Function description
  • Parameter description

Codex: https://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Screen/add_help_tab
Code Reference: https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/classes/wp_screen/add_help_tab/

This is the action of inline docs and Codex migration initiatives.
