Template names for specific entities can get confusing when the entity is renamed

[jameskoster]

This came up in #42165.

When you create a template for a specific entity, its name is used to define the template name. For example if you create a template for your post 'Hello World!' the template will be named 'Post: Hello World!'.

If you change the title of that post, the template name is not updated to match. This can make identifying templates difficult over time.

Let's discuss ways we can make the names for these templates dynamic, so that they update in lock-step with the source entity.

Could this become a blocker for 6.1 if not addressed? @mtias @priethor

I think the simple fix would be not to store hard-coded names on the template name and description and instead leave them empty. If they are empty, the rest endpoint would dynamically compute names and descriptions based on the entities being referenced.
I think ideally, this would be addressed before 6.1 otherwise, on 6.1 we are going to store names and then even if we fix we still have confusing names for things already stored.

Agreed, I don't think it's a blocker, but it would definitely be terrific to address it before 6.1

Yeah it would be nice to eliminate any backwards compatibility headaches if we can 🙏
