If i rely heavily on admin, i would want to configure the urls text
regarding to the app / model.
My reasons
1- it's not always i want the url to say the "technical" model name, i
just want it to be short or "user friendly" name like verbose_name of
model and app properties.
My Proposal:
I believe it can be controlled by verbose_name which is already exist on
model as well as on appConfig.
We just have to only check if verbose_name exist for model or app
otherwise default model name or app label should consider for url.
Where as the matter of spaces in verbose_name it could be replaced by
`'-'`.
think a model name is `UserCreditCardData` and we just want to show as
User Personal Data we can do this using verbose_name but what about admin
url?
it could be `admin/app-label/user-personal-data/` as compare to `admin
/app-label/usercreditcarddata/` same is the case could be for `app_label`.
And so the final url would look something like this
`admin/<app_label | verbose_name>/<model_name |
verbose_name>/add|change|delete`
Here verbose_name precede if exist on app or model.
I already implemented it for my app if it is acceptable i could do this.
