Audit of all filter and action names.

[westi]

I think for 2.4 we should do an early audit of all the filters and actions in the core and ensure that they follow the following set of rules:

1. All names should be unique
2. All names should be relevant to the calling context
3. All filters should pass in relevant context information

This should then ensure plugins can easily filter just the things they want to.

This is to avoid messes like the_title

./wp-includes/post-template.php:        return apply_filters( 'the_title', $title );
./wp-includes/comment.php:      $post_title = apply_filters('the_title', $post->post_title);
./wp-includes/classes.php:              $output .= $indent . '<li class="' . $css_class . '"><a href="' . get_page_link($page->ID) . '" title="' . att
ribute_escape(apply_filters('the_title', $page->post_title)) . '">' . apply_filters('the_title', $page->post_title) . '</a>';
./wp-includes/deprecated.php:           $string .= apply_filters('the_title', $post->post_title, $post);
./wp-includes/deprecated.php:           $string .= apply_filters('the_title', $post->post_title, $nextpost);
./wp-includes/link-template.php:        $title = apply_filters('the_title', $post->post_title, $post);
./wp-includes/link-template.php:        $title = apply_filters('the_title', $post->post_title, $post);
./wp-includes/general-template.php:                                             $text = strip_tags(apply_filters('the_title', $arc_title));

I think 'the_title' filters should probably be moved to 'post_title' so we can let sanitize_post apply the filters. All of the places manually applying the_title would then use sanitize_post.

Include #4004

Send next?

thanks

shouldn't we close this? as in, it's too late?

this ticket makes the early keyword seem very laughable. :D

Versus: #4152

3.0 seems like a good time to review this ticket
