Consistency use of Components name and View in Title

[marijkestuivenberg]

This applies to all use of the Components name in the respective views of those components. The template for it would be: components name: view
Example:
In com-content the name is Articles, views can be New, Edit, Options, Categories, Featured. It will show the following titles:
Articles: New
Articles: Edit
Articles: Options
Articles: Categories
Articles: Featured

However there are a number of places where this is not used consistently. The component title is used in singular form instead of its original. Sometimes the view after clicking the button New is named different, where New would be more consistent. There are also places where the Title doesn’t match the Name of the (sub) menu items that leads to the view.

I obviously agree that consistency between components is good. One of the problems is that sometimes the component is referred to as a singular and others a plural. Not just in the text displayed but also in the code. It is com_banners and com_categories but only com_content and com_contact.

Personally I believe there does not need to be a direct connection between the dropdown menu and the title. And if we are going to be correct then it should be Singular-edit not Plural-edit as you are only editing a singular not a plural.
(this is the sort of PR I had hoped to do myself but I was told not to make any more useless language changes so good luck)

All fine for me, travis complaints about the limit of characters in a line, so it needs to be on two lines probably. Let me know whenever I can help test

[conconnl]

@brianteeman and @marijkestuivenberg is this PR discussed and can we start testing it?

any Thoughts on this PR by Maintainers?

[rdeutz]

closing this one, I think it is in important to use language consistent, I would also go with singular instead of plural so fixing the conflicts seems to me more work than making a new PR
