Custom taxonomy edit page doesnt change "Tag" titles

[dd32]

Take for example, This code:

add_action( 'init', 'theme_taxonomies', 5 );

function theme_taxonomies() {
	register_taxonomy( 'people', 'post', array( 'hierarchical' => false, 'label' => 'People', 'query_var' => true, 'rewrite' => true ) );
}

the result is that a link is made under Posts which links to edit-tags.php?taxonomy=people

If you visit this page, The taxonomy "People" is not mentioned anywhere, Eg, "Popular Tags", "Add a New Tag", etc.

IMO, It would be beneficial if edit-tags.php was changed to allow "Add New %s"/etc.

Another item which was brought up by someone on #wordpress-dev(Sorry, cant remember the name) was that plural forms of taxonomy's would be nice..

Ie. You've got a Tag, and Tags. People and Person, or Friends and Friend.. etc..

any input from anyone on that?

would be nice to have the plurals, yeah

I've been working with custom content types and found the ability to add new taxonomies really really useful. The downside is that while I can call edit-tags.php?taxonomy=mytaxonomyname the labels on this admin page all refer to tags - as noted above.
I made some minor mods to edit-tags.php to make the page more generic to taxonomies - purely cosmetic.
For example: remove $title = ('Tags'); line 12, and add these two lines at line 20
$taxonomy_object = get_taxonomy( $taxonomy );
$title = $taxonomy_object->label;
Elsewhere for labels and headings, remove the word tag, so Add New Tag becomes Add New.
Works for me, although I would love to see this in the core. Plurals of course would be nice, but generic statements work as the page has a bit title TAXONOMY NAME.
Great work guys.
