#17683 closed enhancement (fixed)

'Categories' vs. 'Post tags'

Description

For some reason, the default hierarchical taxonomy is labeled 'Categories', while the default non-hierarchical taxonomy is labeled 'Post Tags'.

I suggest we rename the later to just 'Tags'.

Alternatively, we could rename the former to 'Post Categories'.

Point is, they should have consistent names.

They've been this way forever. I imagine it was a ux decision originally.

It's never too late to fix a bug. ;)

Also note that 'name' and 'singular_name' are the only labels that contain the 'Post ' prefix.

We don't use 'Search Post Tags', 'All Post Tags' etc., which makes this inconsistency even more apparent.

  • Keywords ux-feedback removed
  • Milestone changed from Awaiting Review to 3.3
  • Type changed from defect (bug) to enhancement
  • Version set to 3.2

I'm fine with just making them "Tags," as it was nomenclature that had been around a long time. I think to differentiate from tags on media, etc? Anyway, fine with me to shorten to just Tags.
