Description
When adding or editing hierarchical taxonomies, the label for the parent dropdown is always 'Parent'. This might be confusing for the user when dealing with custom taxonomies where the term 'Parent' is not the best fit. Instead, the taxonomy's 'parent_item' label should be used, as it is done in post_categories_meta_box().

Replying to dlh:
I would also note that when a taxonomy doesn't define the
parent_item
label, the default is used, which is currentlyParent Category
, and which might not be a good fit either.
All the labels fall back to their Category
/Tag
version, so this is fine as-is.
Note: See
TracTickets for help on using
tickets.
34545.diff would implement this suggestion on
edit-tags.php
andedit-tag-form.php
.I would also note that when a taxonomy doesn't define the
parent_item
label, the default is used, which is currentlyParent Category
, and which might not be a good fit either.So, an alternative approach could be to use a generic string (like
Parent
orParent Term
) everywhere.
