I've been thinking about this kind of things. We need to absorb them as field definitions instead of overrides at the screen level. Perhaps we need to define a new status_without_trash field that is distinct to status.

Good question. I think in some cases the gap was 16px. @jameskoster I think you've been looking at spacing tokens lately. Any thoughts? One thing though: we're using sentence case with capital proper nouns across the software, so it should be "Posts per page" and "Blog title". |

8px gap is arguably a little tight, but no strong opinion really, providing we're using a token. 
To be honest I think we ought to consider using
Interesting! I don't think that was intentional... |

👋 - How can we move forward this? I think it's important to think about this and this. If they are time consuming I'll probably try to split the PR. --cc @oandregal @mcsf |

Testing Instructions
Expand Editor Inspectorexperimentfieldspackage.Posts per page anddiscussion) in template summary panel are shown only forhome/index` templates, so you need to test those tooblog titlefield is show only if you have set aPosts page(reading settings) and then edithome/indextemplates.Not a custom template
A custom template with description
A custom template without a description
This case highlights the possible confusion about the lack of an existing description and the way to add one.
We face the same issue for
excerptfield, which for now renders anadd an excerptas value (see screenshot below), but is wrong. If we used theexcerptfield in DataViews, like we do for thedescriptionfield, we shouldn't show such a message.A similar case is the title field where render a
(no title)when empty, but it's a special field which uses a well established default copy for a while. Also note that it doesn't contain any action verb and if we were to imitate that field, we'll end up showing (no excerpt/description). Finally thetitleis by far more important field for an entity than the excerpt/description, so would it be better to show in lists ano descriptionvalue? 🤔 I believe not.
