Problem/Motivation
I did not understand what this list was. I thought it was a list of blocks.
The list of blocks is really block instances.
The "add block" button there goes to a list of block plugins, which can then be added/placed (aka configured) into regions, and these are different for each theme. So each theme has a list of block plugins, that makes up a kind of customized block library. There is no one block library, but one list for each theme.
This is confusing.
It's more confusing because the title of the block plugin listing (say for bartik, admin/structure/block/list/block_plugin_ui%3Abartik/add) has the title: Blocks, just the same as the block instance admin list (admin/structure/block), which is per theme also (admin/structure/block/list/block_plugin_ui%253Aseven).
Adding to the confusion, is the title of the block plugin listing/block library changes when filtered, say by search module (admin/structure/block/list/block_plugin_ui%253Aseven/module%253Asearch). The title becomes Add block.
That is almost a better title.
Proposed resolution
Change title of the block plugin listings from Blocks to Add Blocks or Block Library.
Also, add the theme name, since those listings are per theme.
So the title of
admin/structure/block/list/block_plugin_ui%253Aseven/add
would be:
Add blocks
and/or Add blocks - Seven
Make it so the title stayed the same: Add blocks wether the list of block plugins was filtered or not.
Remaining tasks
- Discuss. Should it be Add blocks or Block Library
- Discuss. Should it be Add blocks - Seven or Block Library - Seven
- Create initial patch to change name of page to: Add blocks
- more tasks to come later...
User interface changes
No new patterns, just change page title.
