Description
The base AppConfig class uses self.label.title() for verbose_name if verbose_name is not supplied. The new AppConfigs in django.contrib use lowercase verbose names. This causes the admin index to look a bit sloppy when old-style apps are capitalized while new-style apps are all lowercase.
In my opinion, one of the following changes should be made:
- All contrib apps should follow the convention for verbose_names used by the default
AppConfig - The default
AppConfigshould follow the same convention for verbose name as the contrib apps - The admin template should force all app names to use the same title convention (eg,
{% verbose_name|title %})
I'm in favor of any of these options -- the main goal here is consistency.
