Description (last modified by Tim Graham)

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:

  1. All contrib apps should follow the convention for verbose_names used by the default AppConfig
  2. The default AppConfig should follow the same convention for verbose name as the contrib apps
  3. The admin template should force all app names to use the same title convention (e.g., {% verbose_name|title %})

I'm in favor of any of these options -- the main goal here is consistency.
