Explain what type of editor it is in Appearance

[karmatosed]

Right now editor appears in the menu:

This is a little odd and likely gets new users. Sure those of us that use it all the time get that it's the code editor, but you would have to know that.

What about changing it to 'code editor' or just something that provides more insight?

There's also an Editor item under Plugins.

I'd suggest renaming the one under Appearance to "Theme Editor" and the one under Plugins to "Plugin Editor".

Theme Editor / Plugin Editor

Since I was making some things around the Editor in general I thought of making this ( 43072.diff ) as well just in case it comes easier for someone to apply it and see how @SergeyBiryukov suggestion feels. It makes way more sense to have them named this way.

In 42685:

Administration: Rename Appearance → Editor menu item to Theme Editor and Plugins → Editor to Plugin Editor for clarity.

Props xkon, karmatosed.
Fixes #43072.

There is no need to capitalize "plugin editor" in the help text, is there?

Just made it consistent with theme editor help text:

The initial issue is fixed, feel free to open a new ticket if the help text needs some further adjustments.

[ocean90]

I'm going to fix this.

Administration: Remove unnecessary capitalization when referencing to plugin/theme editors.
