verbose_name inconsistently capitalized in admin inlines

Description

When I create an instance of a BaseInlineAdmin, the given verbose_name is capitalized. If I give an abbreviation like 'ABC' to verbose_name, it displays 'Abc'.

The same behavior happens in the verbose_name_plural, but only in the StackedInline model.

I'm willing to fix this if it's accepted as a bug.

Sorry, InlineModelAdmin

Summary: verbose_name capitalized in Admin inlines → verbose_name inconsistently capitalized in admin inlines
Triage Stage: Unreviewed → Accepted
Type: Uncategorized → Bug

django/contrib/admin/templates/admin/edit_inline/stacked.html uses the title filter, while tabular.html uses capfirst. I suppose both could use capfirst.

The bug stems from this behavior of the title filter:

>>> from django.template.defaultfilters import capfirst, title
>>> title("ABC News")
u'Abc News'

I've created #21306 to document (or possibly change) this behavior.

I sent a pull request, but I don't know how to test this.

Fixed #21299 - Changed filters from title to capfirst on admin inline formsets.

Previously there was a mixture of the two which resulted in inconsistent
casing.
