Create a new thread form: Help text combined with labels

[anevins]

Form in question: ​https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/#new-post

I think users would receive a better experience if the descriptiveness of labels are improved in the form to create a new thread.

Specifically this is regarding the "Version" label. There is information beneath it explaining what it means ("Select the version of WordPress you are using."), but I think there's no reason for that information not to be inside the label itself.

For instance the label could be improved to "Select the version of WordPress you are using".

Currently the help text is outside of the label and is not associated with ARIA, so it wouldn't be picked up by assistive technologies. However I wouldn't think this is a case where it's necessary to put text outside of the label.

On a relating note, could there be a label added to the comment (textarea) field?

Sure, I think you are right. 3219.diff should fix it.

Not sure but shouldn't we separate this into another ticket for better tracability since this is dealing with completely separated files?
