Description

#2525 restructured wp-includes. Let's do the same for wp-admin.

Move includes to wp-admin/includes
Leave template files in wp-admin
Break admin-functions.php into smaller files
Organize include files along DB and template helper lines as in #2525

Change History (14)

Possible wp-admin/includes

schema.php
upgrade.php
post.php
bookmark.php
taxonomy.php
comment.php
plugin.php
user.php
...

And corresponding foo-template.php as needed.

+3.5. The file structure (or lack thereof ;) ) has always irked me.

Also, would it be worth it to do pretty permalinks for the admin?

(In [5542]) Admin includes reorg. see #4334

That breaks up admin-db and admin-functions into something more sane. I'm itching to reorg the template files too since there are almost seventy something inconsistenly named files in wp-admin. Two approaches to renaming.

post/create.php
post/edit.php
post/form.php
post/manage.php
post/update.php

Or...

post-create.php
post-edit.php
post-form.php
post-manage.php
post-update.php

I like the directory approach. It provides a pretty permalink style via its structure. The related js and css files can also go in the directory, reducing clutter in wp-admin.
