A decorative line of text looks like a working link.
An interface makes a promise through its wording. A useful label tells people what will happen and a useful result tells them what did happen. Test the smallest interaction in plain language before decorating it with confidence.
Use a plain label for decoration and a real link for navigation.
A short note can preserve what happened: the setting, the change, and one observation. Avoid claiming more than the attempt showed.
