Make model/app urls configurable for admin

[Ramez Issac]

If i rely heavily on admin, i would want to configure the urls text regarding to the app / model.
My reasons
1- it's not always i want the url to say the "technical" model name, and maybe i just want it to be short "user friendly" name
(and i don't want to make a proxy model just for that, and that would only solve the <model_name> part of the url)

2- This task is kinda long if one wants to customize one or two model name urls.
One would have to override the get_urls and maybe find out that they may want to override the register itself.

My Proposal:
I believe it can be controlled by an

• AppConfig option (say admin_app_name) for apps, and ,
• Model Meta option for the models (say admin_model_name),

Those options will be accessible from model _meta , and we would use those options instead of the current app_label & model_name to construct the admin urls.
And so the final url would look something like this
admin/<admin_app_name>/<admin_model_name>/add|change|delete

I don't see this as an 80% use case that justifies adding new APIs, and I don't like the idea of putting admin-specific options in model Meta.

If you don't like putting as admin specific option in the Meta, (and i tend to agree) then, for this specific use, where you think it should it go ?!

It's not that big of an api change, and maybe there are more and more uses cases that can benefit from this.
A discussion maybe ?

Edit:
From another perspective: permissions and default_permissionare "kind of" admin related options in the Meta (at least for the majority of cases, they are admin related)

Thanks felixxm, for pointing out.
I am new to contributions, and just want to add my opinion that, can we use verbose_name for url generation on admin side for flexibility as on model name and app name?
