Change block "label" so thad a title like everything else in the template file (and all other template files)

Quoting myself from 📌 Change node "label" so that it's called a title like everything else in the template file (and all other template files) Postponed: needs info as it applies here too.

This issue has gone stale for almost 10 years.

I'm actually somewhat against this change, label is a consistent Drupalism applied to all entity types. Title is not. E.g in #1939224: Change block "label" so that it's called a title like everything else in the template file (and all other template files) blocks don't have a title, they have a block description or label.

If anything, the title_prefix/suffix/attributes should be the ones to change?

Same comment here.

To get more developers on Drupal, some "Drupalism" needs to go.

Developers are typically giving a name to the things they create.

- Name of the block
- Name of the variable
- Name of the function
- Name of the field

A label is a tag attached to an item.

So either we continue putting Drupal in a corner with its "Drupalism" or we adopt more generalized standards.

Will agree with #47 we do use label everywhere else. So are we trying to change everywhere now?

From the IS:

 {{ title_prefix }}
  {% if label %}
    <h2{{ title_attributes }}>{{ label }}</h2>
  {% endif %}
  {{ title_suffix }}

We need to be consistent. Either use “Drupalism” or use standards.

Standards (or the request from the IS:

{{ title_prefix }}
  {% if title %}
    <h2{{ title_attributes }}>{{ title }}</h2>
  {% endif %}
  {{ title_suffix }}

Drupalism:

{{ label_prefix }}
  {% if label %}
    <h2{{ label_attributes }}>{{ label }}</h2>
  {% endif %}
  {{ label_suffix }}

For consistency, we must not mix both title and label.

#47 and #49 opt to keep label. So lets make it to:

 {{ label_prefix }}
  {% if label %}
    <h2{{ label_attributes }}>{{ label }}</h2>
  {% endif %}
  {{ label_suffix }}

The problem is that would be an extraordinary amount of work. It's not just block using those variable names, there's 56 twig templates alone with this variable in them in core. This spans blocks, comments, fields, media, nodes, search results, taxonomy terms, views, and more. The effort to deprecate title_prefix and title_suffix with BC in mind would be a huge amount of code for what IMO is very little gain.

I taught we were discussing drupalism VS standards. And so, speaking about consistency.

Based on the vast amount of work we might prefer closing this ticket as is.

Your comment (#51) is self-explanatory. It explains correctly why we won't fix this 12 years old issue.
